Schools play an important part in a whole-of-society approach to preventing, and ending, gender inequality and gender-based violence (GBV). Respectful relationships education (RRE) is a key facet of prevention efforts within schools.

As RRE programs are increasingly mandated across Australia, there is a need for robust evidence on RRE that examines the entire social ecosystem in which these programs operate. This research, funded as part of the ANROWS 4AP research program, has generated critical new insights into the impacts of RRE programs on students and student relationships, as well as what is needed – at every level of that social ecosystem – to implement them effectively.

This project focused on the delivery of a modified version of the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships education program with Year 7 and Year 9 students in six Victorian secondary schools over 2022. (From the website). Record #8429
