Listening to the voices of older women
Listening to older women and amplifying their voices is critical to preventing sexual assault of older women. On this page we share the resources developed for the Ready to Listen project, preventing sexual assault in residential aged care.
The #ReadyToListen project was led by the Older Person's Advocacy Network, in partnership with Celebrate Ageing and the Older Women's Network, New South Wales. Project Coordinator Dr Catherine Barrett, a long term advocate for prevention of the sexual assault of older women.
