MELB | TMAN | TALKING | Conversations that matter: an evening for men | Tuesday 19 November 2024 | 5.30-8pm

[Edited extract from public address]

Creating healthy and respectful relationships by learning how to challenge harmful gender assumptions in a safe and supportive way.

Join special guest Collingwood Football Club Captain Darcy Moore in this safe and inclusive space, where we will engage in meaningful conversation to explore how men can better look after themselves, their partners, their friends and their community.

We all want to be respected and have healthy relationships. Healthy relationships are about respecting each other as equals and breaking free from outdated gender stereotypes and assumptions.

Too often, these outdated stereotypes and assumptions (like men are strong and women are weak) inform our relationships and lead to family violence and sexual violence against women. They also have a negative impact on the health and wellbeing of men and contribute to high rates of suicide, depression and anxiety.

This event will give participants the tools and skills to improve their mental health, build stronger connections between one another and those they care about.


16 days of Activism against Gender Based Violence | Monday 25 November-Tuesday 10 December 2024

This event is designed for men and male-identifying people aged 18 years and over. There will be many valuable community events and initiatives that are worth exploring and promoting. More information can be found on the Respect Victoria website. Help build Victorian communities where women are safe and equal. It all starts with respect.
