Addressing Violence Against Aboriginal Women

Addressing Violence Against Aboriginal Women

Session Description

Join Professors Vickie Hovane and Harry Blagg, authors of the ANROWS report Innovative models in addressing violence against Indigenous women, for a workshop based on their findings. Suitable for professionals working with Aboriginal people and communities, this workshop will focus on creating a response to family violence that reflects the needs of local women.
