Description

Addressing gender-based violence in volatile and polarising times. This project explores how young people (aged 18-34) interpret and respond to public and media discourse on gender-based violence (GBV), with a focus on the identity, relational, and contextual factors that shape their engagement with prevention initiatives. It tackles the critical challenge of volatile and polarising GBV narratives, which can alienate certain groups and overlook diverse perspectives. The project seeks to generate actionable insights to enhance the effectiveness of GBV prevention strategies, public campaigns, and educational programs. By fostering inclusion and amplifying marginalised voices, it aims to promote equity, reduce GBV prevalence, and drive long-term cultural change towards a more equitable society.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4405 - Gender Studies. Lead: Prof Amanda Keddie
