Two-Part Online Professional Development: Preventing Gender and Disability Based Violence
Registrations are now open for our newest two-part Online Professional Development Series, created for social and community service professionals who want to learn about how gender and disability inequality drives violence, and how they can prevent it.
The sessions—which centre the voices of lived experience and are facilitated by women and gender diverse people with disabilities—are evidence-based and align with the latest research on disability. They also align with Our Watch’s ‘Changing the Landscape’ campaign and the ‘Preventing Family Violence & Violence against Women Capability Framework’.
They will be run online, via Zoom, on Tuesday the 3rd of March and Wednesday the 4th of March, from 10:00AM to 3:00PM.
Pricing is $350 for employed professionals and $250 for students and concession holders. A limited number of subsidised spots are also available.
You can learn more about the sessions, and register to attend, by clicking the button below. Registrations close on Monday the 16th of February.
