Is it okay not to be engaged? Connecting men to women’s safety.
Abstract
White Ribbon Australia has been striving to link men to women's safety by meeting them where they are for the past 24 months. This presentation will discuss a community-by-community strategy that is supported by an intentional effort to make sure that men are aware of the benefits to them and how to not shame them into accountability.
