Women and girls with disabilities are twice as likely to experience violence as those without disabilities.
We are running a series of three (3) online workshops, aimed towards disability and social services workforces, to show how gender and disability inequality drives violence, and how you can prevent it.
This is the registration page for Session 3: Prevention in Action.
If you would like to participate in all three workshops, you can find more information and the registration page here.

What you will learn
Session 3: Prevention in Action will tell you:
How we can be active bystanders to prevent violence against women with disabilities
How primary prevention can inform the safe management of disclosures of violence against women with disabilities
Referral services which can assist in responding to women with disabilities who experience violence.
The training is co-facilitated with an expert in violence prevention and a woman with a lived experience of disabilities. It is evidence-based, aligning with the latest research on disability, Our Watch’s Change the Story, and the Preventing Family Violence & Violence against Women Capability Framework.
