Why do this bundle?
Gender inequality, violence against women and family violence are prevalent in our communities. The 2015 Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence looked at the causes and issues of family violence. It revealed that family violence is a gendered crime, as 75% of victims are women. Gender inequality is at the core of violence against women and is a serious social issue in Australia. When Australian workforces are trained in recognizing the gendered nature of violence, why violence occurs in our society and what practical strategies they can use in the workplace to take action to prevent violence against women and address it when it occurs then we will be able to create true equality for women, men and gender diverse people in the workplace.
Completing the short courses within the Workplace PVAW Bundle is the first step towards making this a reality.
