Workshop 06 - Addressing Transmisogyny in Messaging: Lessons for Prevention

Workshop

Workshop

10:00 am

20 March 2024

Workshop Room 2

Session Description

This workshop builds on the Transfemme project (transfemme.com.au) conducted by Zoe Belle Gender Collective and explores how to design effective messaging that promotes respect and equality, and challenges cisnormativity and transmisogyny. Transfemme initially focused on the cis male partners of trans and transfeminine women, but family and friends also have an important role in fostering environments of understanding and respect.

Unfortunately, widespread cisnormativity and transmisogyny continue to drive high rates of violence, sexual assault, and sexual objectification and fetishisation for trans women. This workshop will cover insights from this groundbreaking primary prevention work as well as tips on how to incorporate similar messages into broader messaging campaigns.   

This workshop will be live captioned.

Please note all workshops require pre-registration and are capped at 30 per workshop.

Facilitators:
 Starlady & Jackson Fairchild
