What is the cause of violence, and how can we prevent it?
About
FREE Workshop.We would all like to live in a community where we feel safe. Sadly though we have high rates of violence, and violence against women and children, throughout Australia, with regional areas being most impacted. The 2025 Victorian Police crime statistics show that the Greater Shepparton region has the fifth highest number of reported 'family incidents' of all Local Government Areas in the state this year.
In this free workshop we will explore the historic and social factors which drive violence, as well as ways in which we can prevent it. Through the use of discussions and activities, attendees will recognise how our own (and society's) beliefs and behaviours have such a significant impact on violence rates, and the power of working together to create a safer community.
This session is being provided as part of the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence events offered by Greater Shepparton City Council and Goulburn Integrated Family Violence Services Executive. It can be offered free to the community thanks to funding received by Greater Shepparton City Council for the Free from Violence Local Government Program (Victorian State Government), and Respect Victoria’s 16 Days of Activism grassroots initiative.
