Roundtable Discussion: Violence Against Women

April 9th, 2013 | Events, Gender-based Violence, News, Workplace Harassment

violence against womenLast year, AWARE commissioned a group of final year Ngee Ann Polytechnic students to conduct a survey on public attitudes towards violence against women.

This roundtable discussion will highlight the survey findings and recommendations on the issue.

Some of the issues that will be raised in the course of the discussion are:

  1. Does violence extend beyond the physical?
  2. Why does society tolerate violence?
  3. How do we support the victim?

The survey was conducted as part of the We Can! Singapore Campaign. This campaign aims to change public perceptions and attitudes that enable violence against women. We Can! aims to generate a mass social movement through empowering individuals to inspire person-to-person change as well as building community alliances to reduce public acceptance of violence against women.
