Registrations here - The Man Question: Engaging migrant and refugee men in gendered violence prevention
It’s a conversation many are having about the role of men in preventing gendered violence, and one the Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health invite you to explore with us at this event. If you’re a gender equity advocate, policy maker, prevention of violence practitioner, service provider, researcher, or part of the women’s health sector, this event is for you.
How to effectively engage men in violence prevention has long been a complex and urgent issue, and one that has been elevated into public consciousness over the past year. Yet the impacts of migration, racial discrimination, and cultural context remain largely overlooked in these conversations. It’s time to change that.
How do we engage men in gendered violence prevention without sidelining the leadership and expertise of migrant and refugee women? What does an intersectional feminist approach to engaging men in gendered violence prevention truly look like? How do assumptions about masculinity and ‘culture’ influence this work, and what are the limitations of these concepts?
The Man Question will delve into these vital questions in a half-day event featuring expert speakers sharing their insights, followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion. The event concludes with a networking lunch where you can continue the conversation.
