This weeks #SundayThread “Oh yes you can”. I was at panto yesterday. This annual family trip is always a fav of mine. A chance to be with family & to laugh out loud. As always the, “oh yes you can” shout gets everyone involved. For me this the crowd communicating agency out loud

This weeks #SundayThread A need to think personally about violence.

Violence becomes preventable when it stops being an abstraction & starts being someone’s problem—specifically, my problem and yours.

This has been a thought of mine for many years now. It returned last weekend

[Graham Goulden @Graham_Goulden]

The headlines often determine how people engage with the story. This headline will actually lead to more issues than less.

One step Forward ten steps back comes to mind.

Just looking to do some market research here for a residential Restorative Practices course in Ireland
What would you pay for a 4 day, 30 hours course, lunchtime Monday to lunchtime Friday, where accommodation and all meals were included?

[Adam Voigt @adam_voigt]

Take the 25mins. You won’t regret it. The age of a grotesque and cruel right versus an insipid and cowardly left must end.

This weeks #SundayThread in a culture of active bystandership “A need to be coachable”. This last week the suspension of a senior leader in policing made me think of this topic. We have blind spots. Sometimes we’re not willing to be told a truth that could save a career

[Graham Goulden @Graham_Goulden]

This weeks #SundayThread Policing can’t do it in its own.

Last week the 2nd report by Dame Louise Casey into the police response to violence against women and girls VAWG was released. It highlighted that more needs to be done by the police to address this ongoing issue

I strongly believe Restorative Justice is essential for human dignity. We need societies where individuals seek repair over retaliation and where relationships are restored.

Join us in calling for Restorative Justice to be recognized as an inherent human right, ensuring access for all, not just a privileged few!

@LimerickCouncil Sorry to have missed this. Sounds really promising. When is there another one?

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women:
#26. When you vote, vote for candidates and parties that will address gender inequalities and violence against women, not for those who offer only platitudes and tokenistic half-measures.

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women:
#27. Reject porn. It teaches sexism and makes men rapey.
At the very least, don’t masturbate to scenes of women being choked, slapped, or degraded - you can’t do that and pretend to be against VAW.

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women:
#21. If you’re heterosexual, get comfortable with the G-word
Some people will question your sexuality or masculinity when you speak up. Reject their homophobic and sexist assumptions. Keep speaking up

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women:
#20. See your own stake in change.
Get involved because ending violence against women is the right and necessary thing to do, *and* because men will benefit from progress towards gender equality.

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women:
#22. Practise responding to the backlash responses you will get from some people.
To typical MRA (men’s rights advocate) claims about women’s violence, false accusations, etc. https://t.co/kzYK1SiiSA

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women:
#23. Build communities of support.
You’re not John Wayne and you can’t go it alone. Join a group or network and find allies, to sustain your commitment to and involvement in anti-violence work.
