Subject Description
Violence against women is a critical public health and human rights concern, prevalent globally. Governments worldwide prioritize its prevention, as seen in Sustainable Development Goals and commitments to evidence-based interventions. This subject provides students with knowledge on the impact, causes, and contributors to violence against women, exploring social change theories and prevention science. Students will learn about intersectional analysis, co-design of interventions, and the ethical and safety issues in researching violence prevention. Valuable for public health students, this subject is also relevant to professionals in various sectors dedicated to preventing violence against women.
Assignments
The good - the guest lecturers were mostly very interesting, the content was interesting and well planned, the group discussions were interesting.
The not so good - having it over 6 days was intense, and I don't think that having a group presentation is a good idea given that format. It means that some people within the group may not dedicate much time to the group presentation, which isn't fair for the other people in the group. Having the other assignment be worth 80% is also stressful.
