Open to all social workers working or interested in private practice in the Adelaide metropolitan area

Alcohol and other drug-facilitated sexual violence refers to the perpetration of any act of non-consensual sexual behaviour against an intoxicated victim. It is often referred to as “drink spiking”. Drink spiking regularly garners media attention with harrowing accounts of victim-survivors experiences. These stories regularly use victim-blaming narratives and reinforce rape myths. The sporadic media attention has not translated to significant action on alcohol and other drug-facilitated sexual violence beyond gimmicky responses such as putting a “top” or cover over your drink in a public venue. Beyond such initiatives, there is limited response to nor knowledge on alcohol and other drug-facilitated sexual violence.

The presentation will be followed by an opportunity to discuss and share ideas and experiences with peers.

Presented by Dr Jessica Ison is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Judith Lumley Centre, La Trobe University.

The networking group is a casual event where all social workers, student social workers and colleagues are welcome to attend. The topics of discussion are whatever people bring to the table. There are opportunities to hear about changes in the services system, supportie discussions for job seekers, news about the AASW and opportunities to catch-up with peers and old friends and colleagues. Generally it is a small group of 1-10 people.
