Preventing dating violence in schools

Clara Ventura (2015), in a study that included an inquiry about the beliefs to legitimate dating violence and a school-based programe, shows that Portuguese youth still thinks that there are some causes external to the offenders that might justify dating violence. Also the belief of the school as a closed unit, without external "interferences" seems to contribute to justify some violent behaviours of the offenders.

Art and Gender Violence

The connections between arts and gender violence is the subject of the PhD thesis by Ana Paula Canotilho.
Based in discourse analysis of in-depth interviews with feminist artists and educationalists, as well as in critical visual analysis of performative actions aiming the prevention of gender violence, the research highlighted the relevance of the artistic processes to prevent gender violence.
