Dedicate a day to enhancing your institutional responses to gender-based violence with the GenderSAFE workshop, “Addressing Gender-Based Violence in academia using the 7P framework”.

Following the presentation of the 7P model – Prevalence, Prevention, Protection, Prosecution, Provision of services, Partnerships, and Policies, attendees will learn to develop action plans tailored to their institution’s specific needs.
