This session introduces gender-based violence and explores how violence can present in different forms, including physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, financial, and technology-facilitated abuse. Participants will learn to recognize early warning signs, patterns of coercive control, escalating behaviours, threats, and other indicators that may signal increased risk. The session will focus on prevention and understanding that violence does not always begin with physical harm.
