Tauiwi Caucus Presents: More than icing on a cake: Building a comprehensive approach to sexual violence prevention

No single programme will solve the problem of sexual violence. Instead, the eradication of sexual violence requires a range of approaches that work together. Central to a well-designed approach to prevention is a clearly articulated framework, or programme logic. This presentation will: 
Outline the importance of using a clear programme logic that describes how the approach will create desired change.
Unpack the limits of consent education for eradicating sexual violence
Present a case-study to demonstrate how multiple prevention programmes can be put together to work towards a violence-free Aotearoa.
