Violence is a major concern worldwide, with negative effects on women, men and children. In Victoria, it is the major cause of disability, illness and death amongst women of reproductive age. In this subject we cover the definitions, conceptualisation and prevalence of violence and will use a gender lens to consider a broad range of topics including childhood sexual abuse, intimate partner violence and sexual assault.
The course will be coordinated by Philomena Horsley. Philomena is a medial anthropologist who has extensive experience of working in the field of women’s health.
