My approach
- Any programmes or interventions should be able to measure the change they seek to make. We are no longer in the ‘awareness’ era! I use the psycho-socio-ecological model for preventing Gender-based Violence to design and assess how an intervention can make change at different levels.
- I have been trained in the application of the Primary Prevention Framework by OURWatch. This pioneering model was developed in Australia and uses a structural analysis of power and a practical understanding of how people work. It requires us to clearly differentiate between work that encourages a clear response to gender-based violence, and that which aims to stop it happening in the first place.
