Alberta Council of Women's Shelters:
Leading Change Expansion Pack
The most common form of domestic violence, coercive-controlling violence, has its roots, in part, in gender norms and stereotypes that permeate our culture.
The Leading Change Expansion Pack is a call to action from the Alberta Council of Women's Shelters to help engage men of all ages to become positive role models and equipped bystanders.
Free and filled with activities, information and tools to help men "level up" and help end gender-based violence, the pack can be ordered at www.leadingchangepack.ca"
Spearheaded by the Alberta Council of Women's Shelters, the Leading Change Expansion Pack is a new, free, subscription box designed for men to use at home to expand their knowledge with a series of guided activities to "level up" and help end gender-based violence in our province.
In the age of #metoo and other social media movements, men who are not likely abusive themselves are curious about their role to:
create positive change
contribute to cultivating a safer world for the women in their lives
be willing to do some self-exploration and do more
Thinking outside the "Real" Man Box: Ending men's violence against women
Tuesday, March 9th @ 4:00pm- 5:20pm
In this workshop we will examine how masculinity is connected to violence against women and the role that men can play in preventing violence. This workshop is for people of all genders to explore and challenge masculine stereotypes. We will explore expanded definitions of masculinity and the potential for violence prevention.
