Topic: What men can do to prevent sexual violence, and how can we promote this effectively.

The webinar is based on the key principles in the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse issues
paper Effectively involving men in violence prevention that Garth Baker, the webinar presenter,
wrote and will use examples from his experience researching and designing White Ribbon’s

Respectful Relationships campaign, which addresses sexual consent
Given that male behaviour is the cause of domestic and sexual violence, against women, engaging men and strengthening their nonviolent, respectful behaviour, is a significant prevention strategy.

While it’s easy to talk about male power and privilege, identifying and implementing strategies that actually change male behaviour is what will make a difference. Discussing this and being informed about the key approaches that are emerging internationally, will accelerate this work in Aotearoa New Zealand.
