There are annual Men's Festivals in Sydney and increasingly in other capital cities, and several smaller gatherings throughout each year. Some men's groups periodically appear within left-wing parties and groups. There is also a series of activities and services that are further from the core of the movement. Counselling and crisis services are available in some states in Australia for men who've battered their wives, raped, or sexually assaulted children. Finally, there is a growing number of community-based health programmes directed at men.
Society is seen as characterised by injustices and inequalities based on gender.
Men must change their sexist behaviours and attitudes and work out a better masculinity. Men in this anti-sexist strand are sympathetic to various feminist understandings of society. Men Against Sexual Assault groups are the best example of anti-sexist men's activism. Feminist work on violence has also been taken up by some male counsellors of perpetrators of violence. Men Against Sexual Assault groups have also begun campaigns on pornography, domestic violence and other forms of violence.
