Exploring Men’s Role in Building Respect and Equality

Together we can change the story: Exploring Men’s Role in Building Respect and Equality
 

Join us in conversation with gender equality advocates Tarang Chawla, Mitch Nivalis and Mark Hands as we explore men’s roles in building respect and equality to present gender-based violence

Presented by Women’s Health Loddon Mallee and Greater Bendigo Against Family Violence, this webinar is aimed at anyone wanting to explore how to be a gender equality advocate and engage in the prevention of violence against women and other forms of gender-based violence, including men seeking to understand their role as allies.

Men’s violence against women is influenced by gendered factors that manifest in everyday environments—where people live, work, learn, and socialise. By collaborating to prevent disrespect and violence before it begins, we can change the narrative. Everyone has a part to play in creating lasting change.
