Course Objectives
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
The course aims to increase students' understanding of discrimination and gender-based violence, helping them develop a greater awareness of these issues. The objective is to equip students with critical thinking skills and the tools necessary to design and implement prevention strategies.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Through theoretical, practical, and application-based sessions, students will acquire specific knowledge to identify conceptual and operational strategies.
The complexity and prevalence of these issues needs a multidisciplinary approach, providing technical and personal skills suiting various professional contexts.
During the course, students will develop project management skills through a dedicated workshop, potentially resulting in a primary or secondary prevention project, which will be considered for the final evaluation.

Contents
The course begins with a conference dedicated to an in-depth exploration of a specific theme and is subsequently structured into three modules: psychological–medical, sociological–linguistic, and legal–economic.
The psychological–medical module will be introduced by a reflection on the culture and ethics of respect and their potential to transform interpersonal relationships. Together with field experts, the module will address in particular the issues of sexual, psychological, and assisted violence. More markedly practical and interactive will be the two sessions devoted to the treatment and rehabilitation pathways of abusive men, as well as the design of primary and secondary prevention initiatives.
The sociological–linguistic module will focus on the social and cultural constructions that infringe upon the fundamental rights of women in society. Two sessions will be specifically dedicated to linguistic representation and gendered language.
The legal–economic module examines national and international regulations on gender-based violence, from both a criminal law and a constitutional perspective. One lecture will specifically address the financial and economic dimensions of gender-based violence.
The course is linked to the Open Badge “Ambassador of Respect” (1 CFU), whose purpose is to train a group of students who, within the academic community, will be able to engage in awareness-raising and prevention initiatives centred on the theme of respect. The 8 hours of theoretical training (respect, stereotypes and discrimination; consent and assertive communication; conflict and violence; respect and relationships in the digital era) and the 4 experiential hours of the Open Badge will be shared with the course “Preventing Gender-Based Violence: Educating for Respect”.
