"Portrait of an offender: How Stereotypes Turn into a Fist"
All over the world, girls and women are being targeted for violence simply because of their gender identity or expression. But why do obedient boys grow up to be killers of women, and at what point does it become clear that a blow will follow instead of words?
In 1991, the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign was launched by activists at the opening of the Global Women’s Leadership Institute and is still used today by international, regional and national organizations to call for the prevention and elimination of violence.
This year, as part of the activities of this campaign, the second REAct webinar will be dedicated to the topic “Portrait of an offender: how stereotypes turn into a fist.” Participants will consider the main hypotheses about who and how becomes offenders (psychological portrait). Dobash&Dobash research will be presented, explaining the common core beliefs of rapists about themselves, the world and women, their stereotypes, as well as the so-called murder plot for Jane Monckton-Smith (special signals that indicate danger in a relationship).
The webinars will be held on December 5, 7 and 9, 2022 and will be simultaneously translated into Russian, English, Ukrainian, BHS, Georgian. At the end of the three webinars, participants will be able to take a test and receive an online certificate.

Webinar №3 December 09, 2022
“Do No Harm: Ways to Support Survivors of Violence”
We will look at how to properly help the victim and what (not-) should be done during a conversation with the victim. “My police protect me”: how to properly interact with law enforcement agencies in cases of violence and why “Can you make peace?” does not work. And also, let’s dwell on secondary trauma: why she is forced to talk again and again about the violence she experienced during the investigation and trial.
