The program would include efforts to counter harmful attitudes against women through social media and local influencers, and the strengthening of referral pathways between prevention programs and specialist responses to get help to people experiencing violence more quickly. Fitz-Gibbon said the program could help a young person “receive the critical messages needed to change the underlying stereotypes and attitudes that we know drive violence against women”.
