Partnerships for prevention: the value of working in partnership to prevent gender-based violence

Preventing gender-based violence is a shared responsibility. Across Australia, communities, domestic, family and sexual violence specialist organisations, governments, workplaces, education institutions, and organisations working across sport, faith and many other settings bring different expertise, relationships and resources to the work of preventing violence before it starts.

About this webinar

This webinar is the first in Emerging evidence from the Second National Plan, a series sharing emerging evidence, insights and innovation generated through Our Watch’s Innovation Directorate and the First Action Plan, alongside experiences and learning from across the sector over the past four years.  

Effective partnerships can bring these strengths together, helping to extend the reach and impact of prevention work and support more coordinated approaches. 

In this webinar, Our Watch Director of Innovation Krista Seddon will speak with prevention experts about the value of working in partnership to prevent gender-based violence. Panellists will share why they work in partnership, lessons learned along the way, the importance of adequately resourcing partnerships, and practical approaches to building and sustaining effective collaboration. 

This webinar is for anyone looking to explore partnership and collaborative approaches to preventing gender-based violence, draw on the expertise of others, or strengthen their own partnership practice.
