Abstract
The NRL’s Voice Against Violence (VAV) program began as a partnership between the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the US Embassy, the Family Sexual Violence Action Committee, the Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League (PNGRFL), and the NRL. Program aim: Developed in consultation with expert partners in domestic violence cases, the VAV program is aimed at informing and empowering young men and women (aged 16 years or older) in particular to stand up, speak out and take action against domestic violence. Specifically, the program looks to: ”¢ Change attitudes and behaviours regarding domestic and gender-based violence of men and women; ”¢ Educate and engage young men and women via program activities; ”¢ Encourage individual behaviour change; ”¢ Foster and encourage role models that promote healthy behaviours and gender equality; and ”¢ Promote messaging around the prevention of violence. The aim of this project was to undertake a research evaluation of the VAV program in Papua New Guinea (PNG) to explore its achievements, challenges, and emerging outcomes.
