Challenging Violence, Changing Lives CD-ROM
This is a CD for teachers with lesson plans on violence against women for Years 9 and 10. The Year 9 lessons look at healthy relationships and should ideally be delivered at the end of the summer term. The Year 10 materials encourage young people to run a White Ribbon Campaign. The CD contains a toolkit for the young people to organise their own steering group to coordinate a campaign.
