By their nature Voice of Change projects tackle confronting subject matter, so each piece will be accompanied by supporting materials created by family violence and mental health sector professionals. These materials will highlight key themes and messages, facilitate conversation and outline pathways for change.
How I Can Make Change
1800RESPECT
1800RESPECT is a counselling, information and referral service for all Australians that supports everyone affected by sexual assault and domestic and family violence. 1800RESPECT works with individuals to help them identify what they can do, and to find the right services or support, recognising that everyone’s situation is different.
Better man
University of Melbourne’s Better Man project helps men to reflect and think about their behaviours, values and communication skills with their partner and any children they have.
No to Violence (NTV)
An organisation that specialises in effective evidence-informed engagement with men, NTV’s Everyday Conversations – Active Bystander Training supports people to have everyday conversations that challenge the gendered drivers of men’s use of family violence. Participants are taught to identify subtle and complicit reinforcement of sexist beliefs in everyday conversations and are given the chance to put their theory into action.
Our Watch
A national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia, Our Watch’s Change the Story framework outlines the roles all of us have to play in preventing violence against women – governments, communities, organisations and individuals.
Respectful Relationships
Respectful Relationships promotes healthy and safe relationships, and builds gender equitable values through initiatives for children and young people.
The Men’s Project
The Men’s Project is a social change movement working to build a just society where all people can live to their full potential by changing policies, practices, ideas and values that perpetuate inequality, prejudice and exclusion.
White Ribbon
The White Ribbon Australia Campaign and associated programs focus on primary prevention of family violence. They work across communities, organisations and society as a whole to address the deep, underlying drivers of violence against women, so that violence does not happen at all, by focusing on changing commonly held attitudes and behaviours that support and encourage gendered violence.
XY Online
XY Online is a website focused on men, masculinities, and gender politics. XY is a space for the exploration of issues of gender and sexuality, the daily issues of men’s and women’s lives, and practical discussion of personal and social change.
