Unpacking Resistance

DETAILS

If you work in gender equality or primary prevention of violence against women then you’ve most likely experienced backlash and resistance. Dealing with it comes with the terrain and is a normal part of any social change. That doesn’t mean that figuring out how to navigate resistance isn’t challenging, and sometimes a bit scary.

Our training will give you the confidence to respond to resistance when it arises. From denial to backlash, to understanding why people might resist gender equality work, you’ll be equipped with the strategies and skills to create meaningful and sustainable change. 
Don't let resistance stop you on your mission to prevent violence against women and achieve gender equality. Creating behavioural change is at the heart of this work and it’s no easy feat! That’s why we’ve purposely designed our training program to support and equip you with the strategies and tools you’ll need. You’ll also receive a toolkit of tried and tested resources to help you create behavioural change in your work.

Session 1: 10 am - 12.30 pm
