I must express how great the session was! The Nhill ladies only had positive feedback such as “I wish I knew this when I was younger” and “I have learnt so much.”
We all look forward to next week sessions. Thank you again for both your efforts in delivering culturally appropriate education to the Karen community.
Great training. I hope this is available to many people, and is regularly offered.
I left with a greater understanding of the complex forms of violence and the need for prevention strategies that reflect that complexity
I feel as though my own definition and way of describing intersectionality was very generalised and I have a much deeper understanding of it now.
Previously I only understood intersectionality as a theoretical framework to consider issues, considering my privilege etc. Now I have a better understanding of how to practice intersectionality in my work.
It has been an amazing journey. I met new friends, discovered a lot about myself, and about Australian politics and health. It's a brilliant course, and really informative for women. Excellent...to bring together everyone onto the same platform.
I was very nervous when I joined this course because I was too shy to say anything. But now I learnt to just say it, just to shake it out. Now I can speak in front of all of you. I feel good!
As a result of the PACE training things are happening and I'm grateful, thankful and very hopeful for more great things and opportunities to come.
[B]icultural-bilingual workers…are pivotal to the work that we do. They are our bridge, both cultural bridge and language…It enables our clients to connect with us maybe a bit more quickly than if they went somewhere else, and it is an issue of trust. Unless you have safety and trust, you can't work with people, especially people who have been traumatised before coming here. Safety and trust go hand in hand.
The rights of migrant and refugee women are enshrined internationally. It's up to us to recognise these rights.
