'Resistance shouldn’t put off any kinds of transformative work, because if resistance isn’t occurring, then we really have to wonder whether a change initiative is challenging power dynamics and the status quo.'
– Dr. Sarah Hewitt.
Hosted by Our Watch and facilitated by Natalie Wade, this webinar explores how prevention workers can plan for and address the resistance that comes with the transformative change process.

Our Watch’s Growing with Change: developing an expert workforce to prevent violence against women, a first of its kind evidence paper, describes the current national prevention workforce and proposes a conceptual model to increase its size, capability, and coordination at a national level.

This webinar is informed by Our Watch’s Educating for Equality framework and focusses on the role of workplaces as one of five key domains in preventing gender-based violence in universities.
Participants heard from leading voices on how university structures and workplace culture can drive change, exploring the role of workplace systems in promoting gender equality. This session also discussed the university sector’s legal obligations in addressing gender-based violence, including a positive duty to prevent and eliminate discrimination and sexual harassment, and obligations under a new National Code.
This webinar provides practical strategies to help universities meaningfully engage students in prevention approaches, promote student voice and lived experience to strengthen the key domain of student life as identified in Our Watch’s Educating for equality framework.
Experts explored how universities can engage student voice and lived experience using ethical and trauma-informed practice. The discussion covers key areas such as trauma and trauma-informed practice, ethical considerations, utilising community expert consultation and research, and engaging intersectional student voice and lived experience over the life cycle of Educating for equality.
