This webinar explores the basics of PVAWD which stands for preventing violence against women with disabilities. It provides professionals in the social service sector with an introduction to the intersection of gender and disability.
Hosted by the Workforce Development program of Women with Disabilities Victoria, this one-hour session will put our work in context and demonstrate how you can be part of systemic change. Through understanding the drivers of violence against women with disabilities, the essential actions outlined in the National Violence Prevention Framework have greater potential for meaningful change in professional practice that is inclusive and accessible.
