How do the social gender roles prescribed to us all change the way people perceive our trauma and abuse? How is the abuse of women seen as different from the abuse of men? This course takes a look at the way men and boys, and women and girls will receive different responses and support with their trauma and abuse experiences purely based on social norms and gender role stereotypes.
Anyone with an interest in exploring the way gender roles and stereotypes of men and women change the way we respond to them and help them when they are subjected to sexual violence. Members of the public, professionals and volunteers are welcome.
