The development of these courses have been led by The Diversity Trust’s Julie Cheung, who has wide ranging expertise in the Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) sector, including in sexual violence prevention, consent training, and aiding organisations to have constructive conversations around sexism, misogyny, and gender equality.
