This report evaluates a training session delivered by WHISE to members of Together We Can in September 2026, focused on building capacity to recognise and respond to resistance and backlash in gender equality and family violence prevention work. Drawing on the active bystander model and grounded in real-life examples, the session examined how resistance operates across different settings, including at an organisational level, and built participants’ confidence in planning for and countering it. The evaluation captures shifts in participants’ understanding, confidence and intended actions following the training.
