  • Session 1:
    Introduction to Prevention of Violence against Women with Disabilities

    Drivers of Violence and Essential Actions
  • Session 3:
    Managing Disclosures in a Prevention Context

Session 3: Thursday 12 November

Time: 10am–1pm

Session 1: Introduction to Prevention of Violence against Women with Disabilities

  • How gender and disability inequality intersect to create disadvantage for women with disability
  • Impacts of violence against women with disability
  • Why gender inequity is a key driver of violence against women with disability

Session 2: Drivers of Violence and Essential Actions

  • How our everyday actions and practice can contribute to violence against women with disability
  • How gender and disability equitable practice can create change to end violence
  • Strategies and tools to prevent violence against women with disability

Session 3: Managing Disclosures in a Prevention Context
