Men, sport, violence prevention (Part 2)

Content warning: domestic abuse and violence. 

In Part 1 of our chat with Jackson Katz, we delved into the world of gender-based violence and the crucial role men play in preventing it. But it's not just about acknowledging the problem; it's about taking action.

In Part 2, we explore how men can meet the moment in showing leadership in violence prevention. From institutional support that can make a real difference at the policy level to individual actions that can challenge harmful behaviours, there's a role for everyone to play.
