Community of Practice
What is the BRAVE-WOW Community of Practice?
Let’s identify, understand, and prevent gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) in workplace settings through inclusive and dynamic dialogue!
The BRAVE-WOW Community of Practice is a collaborative and inclusive space where we engage in dialogue, shared learning, and knowledge co-creation.
Our community – stakeholders in working in the area of GBVH or who have a specific interest in the topic – supports the identification of risks and challenges, promotes effective practices and solutions, and fosters a workplace culture grounded in respect, diversity, inclusion, and accountability.
