Status of Women committee  Yes.

Status of Women committee  There's one thing I would add around sentencing and rehabilitation that we think about when we look at the spectrum of engaging men. We don't work in particular with men who have used violence, but I know from colleagues who do that work that unlike domestic violence, interperson

Status of Women committee  I would submit to you the names of two organizations that might be great witnesses on this issue. They are doing, in my view, really exceptional work with men who have used violence. One is from London, Ontario. It's an organization called Changing Ways. They are looking at a h

Status of Women committee  There is this notion that Rosemary brought up of creating alternative content, because it's overwhelming to think of every sexist ad, every sexist music video, every convicted felon on a professional sports team in the world, and how to approach those is so complex and so vast th

Status of Women committee  We were not consulted, but we don't work on the justice side of things. We work on prevention, education, and awareness.

Status of Women committee  We call that group our nine-year-old experts and then we go to our 11-year-old experts for the really tough questions like this. We've asked them that question, where do these things come from. Not only do they come from family and schools, but they come from the media, an import

Status of Women committee  I mentioned I have an eight-year-old son, but I also have a four-year-old daughter, so this job is a little bit overwhelming sometimes since I have to factor in both perspectives.

It's partly about that strength-based approach which I mentioned before, that the way we change attitudes and behaviours is by showing the right way, not by condemning all the wrong ways. Obviously, we have to hold people to acco

Status of Women committee  There are two amazing campaigns. One is the I Am a Kind Man campaign, which Ms. Bennett already mentioned, and the other is the Moose Hide Campaign in B.C. They are doing some unbelievable work, but are we reaching enough? No.

Status of Women committee  I Am a Kind Man is a project that we helped initiate with the Ontario Federation of Indian Friendship Centres. That's an adaptation of a lot of our work for aboriginal communities. It's an unbelievable project as well.

Status of Women committee  If I could, I'll start with one quick one. We have a project that's funded by the Ontario government that's part of their healthy and equal relationships funding stream. It's called “It starts with you. It stays with him.” It's about a research insight. When we asked men about h

Status of Women committee  That's a great question. Thank you for those nice remarks as well. One thing we talk about at White Ribbon is what we call a strength-based approach. We know that fear-based, guilt-based, and shame-based approaches with men don't actually make the kind of behaviour change we wan

Status of Women committee  The ideas are already starting to form. We do a workshop with nine-year-old boys in grade 4. I have an eight-year-old son, so this is very near and dear to my heart. We ask them the question, “What do you not like about being a boy?” The number one thing on this list that some yo
