Four Essential Actions to Prevent Gender Based Violence:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nChallenge the condoning of violence against women <\/strong>
This involves challenging the beliefs that justify, excuse, trivialise, or downplay violence against women, or shift blame from perpetrators to victims, as well as challenging the ways these beliefs are upheld through things like workplace practices and laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPromote women\u2019s independence in public life and relationships<\/strong>
This means promoting women\u2019s independence in their relationships and families, as well as promoting women\u2019s access to resources and decision-making power in public life, including in workplaces and parliaments. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBuild new social norms that foster personal identities not constrained by rigid gender stereotypes <\/strong>
This involves challenging beliefs about how men and women should behave \u2013 and what they\u2019re capable of \u2013 as well as challenging the ways these beliefs are upheld through social practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSupport men and boys in developing healthy masculinities and positive, supportive male peer relationships <\/strong>
This involves supporting men and boys to develop healthy ideas about what it means to \u2018be a man\u2019 \u2013 and positive relationships with other men, that are not built on showing aggression, dominance, control or \u2018hypersexuality\u2019 (through things like sexual boasting).<\/p>\n\n\n\nA special one on the calendar: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bendigo Library is hosting a free author talk from Hana Assafiri<\/a>. Hana is a much-loved Melbourne personality, founder of Moroccan Soup Bar, and a social activist. Her book is a moving and inspirational memoir that confronts issues around domestic violence, food and women\u2019s equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
