Supporting the Readiness of Regional Sports to prevent and respond to Family Violence and Violence Against Women
Associate Professor Kirsty Forsdike at La Trobe University has partnered with Sports Focus, the Regional Sports Assembly for the Loddon Campaspe region in Victoria, to examine community sports in the regional area and community sports participants' awareness and understanding of GBV.
The project is developing and implementing initiatives that ensure regional sport understands how to undertake primary prevention of and respond to gender-based violence. The project also partners with Safe and Equal, Centre Against Sexual Assault Central Victoria, and No to Violence.
Research Team: A/Professor Kirsty Forsdike, Professor Leesa Hooker, Dr Jessica Ison; in collaboration with Dr Erica Randle, Dr Alex Donaldson, A/Professor Nicola McNeil, and Professor Simone Fullagar (Griffith University).
