Everyone has a role to play
Gender-based violence doesn’t begin in crisis accommodation or courtrooms. It begins with the attitudes, beliefs and systems that shape how people are treated every day. That means workplaces have an important role to play alongside schools, families, sporting clubs, and communities.
WAGEC offers tailored workplace education grounded in decades of frontline experience supporting women, trans and gender-diverse people, and children experiencing violence and homelessness. Our training connects the realities we see every day with practical actions organisations can take to help create safer, more equitable workplaces.
