Help shape violence prevention in NSW
LGNSW is developing tools to support councils to address domestic, family and sexual violence, and has commissioned the Gendered Violence Research Network at the University of NSW to deliver a primary prevention practice audit.
Primary prevention focuses on stopping violence before it occurs by addressing its underlying drivers, such as gender inequality, harmful attitudes and social norms.
Your insights are needed to understand what’s working, where the gaps are, and what support councils need.
Why this matters
