A community-led approach to preventing gendered violence at school

学校中的性别暴力在个人和社区层面上都异常普遍和具有破坏性。到目前为止，旨在减少这种暴力的反欺凌政策未能产生有意义的变化。利用社区主导的创新研究方法，该项目旨在将学校社区定位为如何减少性别暴力的专家。这项研究项目将与两个州的四所中学合作，使学生和教师能够调查学校政策、空间和活动如何影响性别暴力。它将从根本上提供证据，说明不同的学校社区如何以创造性和适合背景的方式扰乱性别暴力。

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.
