Transform Lateral Violence in YOUR Community
PUBLIC LATERAL VIOLENCE 3 DAY WORKSHOP
Lateral Violence occurs within marginalized groups where members strike out at each other as a result of being oppressed. The oppressed become the oppressors of themselves and each other. Common behaviours that prevent positive change from occurring include gossiping, bullying, finger-pointing, backstabbing and shunning.
