We aim to improve the understanding of gender-based violence in the community through community legal education.
We believe that preventing family violence starts with us. Through education we can help promote gender equality, and change attitudes and unfair treatment of people, based on gender.
We provide age appropriate legal education to secondary school students, organisations and community members across South West Victoria.
If you would like to learn more about our Community Legal Education, or if you would like to arrange a presentation at your school or workplace, please contact us on (03) 5561 1934 or email legal@safvcentre.org.au.
