The Respect Protect Connect program is an educational program for secondary students that aims to develop respectful relationships and prevent violence. It has been run in Victoria for over 10 years, with a boys program run by the South Eastern Centre Against Sexual Assault and a girls program run by Women's Health in the South East. This evaluation report examines the impact of the program on students and organisational and structural factors which affect its success. The report first discusses the process and impact evaluation methodology and findings from a literature review on good practice in prevention programs. The report then discusses the evaluation results, which included surveys with peer educators and teachers on content and delivery, the attitudes of boys on use of violence and gender stereotypes, skills in conflict resolution, attitudes of girls on acceptance of violence and gender stereotypes, and skills in assertiveness and support seeking.

The women's health movement shocked and scandalised when it burst into Australian politics in the early 1970s. It cast the light of day onto taboo subjects such as sexual assault, abortion and domestic violence, provoking outrage and condemnation. Some of the services women created for themselves were subjected to police raids; sex education material was branded 'indecent'. Moreover, women dared to criticise revered institutions, such as the medical system. Yet for all its perceived radicalism, the movement was part of a much broader and relatively conventional international health reform push, which included the 'new' public health movement, the community health centre movement and, in Australia, the Aboriginal health movement, all of which were critical of the way medical systems had been organised during the 20th century. The women who joined the movement came from diverse backgrounds and included immigrant and refugee women, Aboriginal women and Anglo women. Initially, groups worked separately for the most part but as time went on, they found ways to cooperate and collaborate. This book presents an account of the ideas, the diverse and shared efforts and the enduring hard work of women's health activists, drawn together in one volume for the first time. This relentless activism gradually had an impact on public policy and slowly brought forth major attitudinal changes. The book also identifies the opportunities for health reform that were created along the way, opportunities which deserve to be more fully embraced.
