A community-led approach to preventing gendered violence at school

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Gendered violence in schools is exceptionally common and damaging on both individual and community levels. Anti-bullying policies designed to reduce this violence have so far failed to make a meaningful difference. Using an innovative community-led research approach, this project aims to position school communities as experts on how gendered violence may be reduced. In partnership with four secondary schools across two states, this research project will be the first to enable students and teachers to investigate how school policies, spaces and activities influence gendered violence. It will produce evidence from the ground up about how different school communities can disrupt gendered violence in inventive and contextually appropriate ways.
