The Safer Pathways research project is part of a national initiative, the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Projects using Action Research (CALD PAR) with short term funding from the Commonwealth Department of Social Services.  The research results from all of the projects in the initiative have now been published by the Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS). This report provides key insights into “what works” for prevention and safer pathways activities engaging CALD communities in Australia.

The Neighbourhood Hub is proud to have participated and contributed to this CALD PAR initiative. To read the ANROWS CALD PAR summary report, please follow this link:
