About the masterclass

This full day masterclass aims to build participants’ confidence and skills in crafting and sharing stories that communicate the drivers of violence against women.  This masterclass takes participants through story crafting techniques and principles, key considerations when tailoring prevention of violence against women (PVAW) stories to various audiences and ethical storytelling. Participants workshop key messages and craft their own story through individual and group activities. This masterclass aims to increase the confidence of participants to develop and tell stories that illuminate the causes of violence against women. 

What is primary prevention of violence?

Primary prevention of violence against women (PVAW) addresses the underlying causes and drivers of violence so that it doesn’t happen in the first place. It is different to tertiary prevention – or response work – which supports survivors and holds perpetrators to account after violence has occurred. PVAW seeks to change the social norms, practices and structures that allow violence to take place.
