filed in News on Sep.20, 2012

A VicHealth report about the effectiveness of using bystander intervention to prevent violence against women was recently released. The report found that intimate partner violence is the leading contributor to death, disability and illness in Victorian women aged 15 to 44 years, contributing more to ill health in this age group than other well-known risk factors such as smoking and obesity. The report contains a call to action, asking people to intervene when they see sexism unfold in order to support gender equality and prevent gender based violence. (Click here to learn more.)

filed in News on Feb.09, 2012

Where Do You Stand? is a positive approach to preventing violence that empowers male bystanders to intervene in a variety of common and potentially dangerous scenarios that college students face on campus. This unique awareness campaign uses provacative images and messages that were inspired by interviews with sexual assault staff on college campuses, examined by focus groups with a diversity of college men and tested with surveys for effectiveness. Where Do You Stand? incorporates a variety of elements, including posters, billboards and other media materials, trainings, a curriculum, event ideas and projects that all reinforce ways that young men can use their strength for bystander intervention.
