Question by dianadee17: I’m doing my senior project on violence against women and i need help in creating a product.?
I can’t interview women at the womens shelter and I dont want to interview survivors. I started a product on a fictional awarness campaign in my school but i feel like its not enough. I just want to know if you guys have any other simple ideas that i can use to create a product. Thank You!

I think producing an awareness campaign would be really good, especially with younger women. You could start with posters and possibly radio adverts and then look at what kind of seminars (recognising abuse in others; escaping from abuse; can you recognise a possible abusive husband?) young women would come to. Look at socio-economic groups and how they react to the advertising and how likely they would be to come to any meetings.
