No More Violence Against Women; the podcast of the WAVE Network.

In this podcast, WAVE voices are amplified to give insight on topics such as sexualised violence, online violence, femicides, violence against women with disabilities, youth activism, important legislation such as the Istanbul Convention, and more to highlight the different forms and dimensions of violence against women and girls.

In order to build a world free from violence against women and girls, we need a paradigm shift – one that prioritises preventing violence before it occurs. In this episode, we delve into the powerful theme of prevention, with a focus on primary prevention strategies.

Our guests, Tere Iglesias Lopez (Garance) and Silvia Menecali (D.i.Re), members of WAVE’s Thematic Working Group on Prevention with a focus on Primary Prevention, bring their expertise to the table. They share their insights into what primary prevention truly means, their on-the-ground experiences, and their vision for the future of violence prevention.

This episode is an opportunity to explore why primary prevention is critical for creating a world without violence against women and girls. As we look ahead to the upcoming WAVE Conference 2024, which centres around holistic prevention, this conversation is the perfect primer on how WAVE Members across Europe are tackling the root causes of violence against women and girls.

Tune in and join us as we explore how primary prevention can shape a safer future for all.

More information on the various primary prevention activities from the WAVE Thematic Working Group on Primary Prevention can be found in the publication A Life Free from Violence: Primary Prevention as the Key to Eliminating Violence Against Women and Girls, available HERE.
