Creating the social change to end violence against women requires courage, vision, commitment and, most importantly, collaboration. As leading practitioners in our sector we are key voices for that change. We are the ones who ask the important questions, reflect on what needs to happen and help find ways to end violence against women. When we share our wisdom and expertise, have the space to reflect, as well as the opportunity to connect, share and learn from each other, only then can we can take our practice to the next level.

DVRCV’s Sector Leaders Community of Practice (CoP) gives you the unique opportunity to do just that. Our specialised CoP will enable you to connect with a community of likeminded practitioners and help pave the way for transformational leadership to prevent violence against women.
