Gender-Based Violence: Drivers, Dynamics and the Continuum of Harm

The specialist stream's conceptual anchor. Before workers can prevent or respond to gender-based violence, they need a shared analysis of what drives it, one that goes beyond individual pathology to the social conditions that make violence predictable. This course covers the continuum from everyday disrespect to homicide, the four evidenced gendered drivers, and how intersecting oppressions compound risk without collapsing into a single explanatory story.
