Marcus Campbell provides some good reading, and a good basis for reflection on White Ribbon Day at The Drum. In the piece, to my mind, this quote from sociologist Dr Michael Flood epitomises the challenge that faces us, and the world we need to build:
We must erode the cultural and collective supports for violence found among many men and boys and replace them with norms of consent, sexual respect and gender equality.
And we need to bear that in mind, and actively confront that challenge on every day of every year.
It’s a good idea to have the emphasis on blokes for White Ribbon Day.
