About

Violence is notoriously difficult to identify when it occurs in the family home. If victims or witnesses are unable or unwilling to report abuse, support agencies cannot respond. Kadera advocates an approach towards domestic violence that transcends closed doors and responds to the (unspoken) needs of victims by integrating housing providers, a currently under-used resource, in a multi-sectoral approach in policy and practice.

The goal of this workshop is to inform and inspire housing providers to play an active role in early identification / tackling of domestic violence and sharing ideas and best practice, as input for  the Safe at Home project.

Itinerary

14:00 – 15:30 hrs      Workshop: the topic of tackling domestic violence with the help of housing providers will be explored through interactive discussions and a presentation.
