Violence against women is a men's issue

Just watched a powerful video that carries an important message. This is truth and it is really important to watch this. I was going to say "important for other counsellors" but actually, important for all women - all mothers of sons, all mothers of daughters - and ALL men.

"Domestic violence and sexual abuse are often called 'women’s issues', but in this bold, blunt talk, Jackson Katz points out that these are intrinsically men's issues — and shows how these violent behaviours are tied to definitions of manhood. A clarion call for us all — women and men — to call out unacceptable behavior and be leaders of change."
