Community Education

community groups such s women groups and AMES and TAFE student groups. On many occasion
community education is delivered in the community’s own language. Community
education sessions range from short presentations to two hour sessions. The aim of the community
education is to raise awareness of domestic violence among culturally and linguistically diverse
community groups in a way that is respectful and valuing of diverse
perspectives of domestic violence. The training seeks to empower communities to reflect on their
attitudes and assumptions about domestic violence. The community groups are empowered through being
