Podcast Series
Ordinary Australians talking about what science and research can tell us about stopping violence against women before it starts?
The podcast provides insights from research to challenge societal norms and practices, and encourages community dialogue about what needs to change to create a world free from violence.
It offers a safe, welcoming and relatable way to explore what is often a difficult and confronting topic.
Agents for Change is a podcast series developed by a local Community Action Group. This project is a community development initiative supported by White Ribbon Australia, Shellharbour City Council, Coequal and ANROWS (Australia’s National Research Organisation For Women’s Safety).
The Community Action Group initiative empowers like-minded people to start changing the way their community engages with violence against women. They can be geographically based, or built around faith, cultural, sporting, workplace or any kind of community. Using an evidence-based framework and grassroots approach, they address the underlying reasons it’s happening in the first place.
It’s about reframing the narrative from seeing it as an individual’s problem to deal with to a community’s issue that can be faced together.
Each activity is different as each community is different. Agents for Change is a creative project developed by a Community Action Group based on the South Coast of NSW.
