If we want change, we must encourage boys and men to recruit and educate other boys and men in ways that lift each other up. An effective way to do this is by ‘inviting’ men, rather than indicting them. This means not only modelling positive behaviour in front of each other, but also understanding that other men might be at a different part of their journey and still working it out for themselves.

To help ends men’s violence, check out these eight actions.

Talk to women about their experiences with men – and believe what they tell you

Ask myself how I’ve treated women, and how I can behave more respectfully

Disrupt other men when they disrespect or threaten women – Bystander Intervention

Treat women as equals in everything we do and have less stress and be happier.

Choose how I will be a man and how I will act. Holding to rigid ideas is unhealthy.

Talk with young man about ‘breaking out of the man box’ you must appear tough etc

Think about what I’m watching and the media I use. Use your ‘crap-detector’.

Talk with young men about respectful relationships and porn. If you don’t who will?
