Gender and family violence

In this unit, you will focus on the social structures that support key patterns of gendered violence. You will examine how broad based   gender inequality underpins and shapes patterns of family violence in Australia and globally. You will explore the link between challenging gender inequality and the prevention of family violence. You will identify one specific aspect or type of family violence for sustained investigation. Focused on this area, you will undertake a targeted review of the relevant academic literature and create a policy brief designed to inform an agency or organisation about this aspect or type of family violence. The development of the policy brief will be scaffolded and supported by the Unit Coordinator .
