About
The Deakin Network Against Gendered Violence (DNAGV) comprises a University-wide, interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners with expertise in gendered violence, including violence against women and children, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, family violence, same-sex violence, the role of intersectionality, and legal and non-legal regulation of this violence.
Our mission
The aim of the Deakin Network Against Gendered Violence (DNAGV) is to foster a network that will facilitate and promote Deakin’s expertise in the area of violence against women (gendered violence; intimate partner violence; family violence; and sexual violence). The DNAGV provides regular opportunities for Deakin researchers to collaborate and identify further areas of expertise, host events and build capacity for enhanced research collaborations with academics from other faculties and universities, the community, the family violence sector, and government and non-government stakeholders. We will develop evidence-based strategies to reduce violence against women and children and provide the family violence sector with tools to address the issue in a practical and informed way.
