Have you noticed your confidence returning in small ways after the control shrank you?
Is it speaking up, saying no, or choosing rest without guilt?

On Saturday and five days prior to International Men's Day, women will march for men in Belfast. This is how men and women of goodwill are working towards genuine equality...

Thank you to all of the organisers and to Men's Alliance Northern Ireland.

If the poster on the wall does not show him, he will not walk through the door.

If the website says “women and children,” he will close the tab. If the helpline greeting says “women’s support line,” he will hang up. If the intake worker asks “are you the perpetrator?”, he will not call again.

Language and imagery are not decoration. They are access.

Men who have experienced family violence are already navigating shame, fear of not being believed, and not knowing where to go. Every signal that says “this is not for you” makes it harder to seek help.

He deserves a door with his name on it. That means campaigns that picture male victims alongside female victims. That means websites that say “we support all victims including men.” That means crisis accommodation, legal help, and case management that explicitly includes him.

A door without his name on it is a door he will not open.

Myth: experiencing abuse makes you a bad father.
It doesn't.
It means you are a father who also needs support.

On International Men's Day, I will be speaking at the IMD Dinner in Adelaide. Launching the Global State of Men and Boys Report 2026, with an audience including the South Australian Premier, the Honourable Peter Malinauskas MP, and the Honourable Sarah Game MLC.

For the first time in the Men's Movement, International Council for Men and Boys has summarised the 12 key challenges being faced by males around the globe. Two and a half years of research and advocacy distilled into a 36-page evidence-rich report.

With 15 days on the official United Nations calendar to support women and girls, the Global State of Men and Boys Report 2026 will step up the pressure on the UN to add International Men's Day to their calendar (as the first official day to recognise the value of men and boys to our societies).

The Future Is Everyone.

If you could tell the system the most important thing to change for male victims what would you say?
Would it be assessment, safe reporting, housing, or enforcement of contact?

The peak age group for male victims of family violence assault in ABS 2025 is 35-44. Dads. Men with jobs, mortgages, and family responsibilities. Men trying to keep everything together while experiencing violence at home.

Being a victim does not cancel being a father. It does not cancel being a good man, a hard worker, a reliable mate. Victimhood is not a character flaw. It is an experience of harm.

Too often men are forced into a false choice — either you are a strong father or you are a victim. The truth is he can be both. He can be a victim and a father and a good man at the same time.

When services frame men only as perpetrators or as bystanders, they miss the men who are trying to protect their wellbeing while still showing up for their family. Recognising that complexity is not taking sides. It is recognising reality.

Your kids are learning from how you rebuild.
Not just from what happened.
Consistency is what they will remember.

LET’S MAKE INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY 2026 THE BIGGEST YET

We are now nine days into Men’s Equality Month, spanning the whole of November, and just TEN DAYS AWAY from International Men’s Day (IMD), on Thursday 19 November 2026...

This year’s inclusive theme is “The Future Is Everyone”. This is a powerful reminder that a better future for men and boys benefits women, girls, families and communities too.

First celebrated on 19 November 1999, IMD marks its 28th annual commemoration this year.

Last year, International Men’s Day was celebrated in more than 110 countries worldwide, making it the largest annual global occasion dedicated to men and boys.

🚀 LET’S MAKE 2026 BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER!

✅ Organise an IMD event in your workplace, school, church or community.

✅ Attend one of the many wonderful events already planned.

✅ Bring together friends, colleagues and family members to celebrate.

✅ Recognise positive male role models, fathers, mentors and community leaders.

✅ Raise awareness of the challenges facing men and boys, while celebrating their contributions and achievements.

Everyone can participate. Everyone can contribute. Everyone benefits.

Let's make this a truly global celebration of positive masculinity, equality, compassion and hope.

The Future Is Everyone. Let's build it together... 💙🌍

When your children start to pull away after you separate, your first fear is that she is turning them against you.

This article walks through the signs of parental alienation, what it looks like in your contact, in your child’s words, and in how they feel toward you, so you can tell it from the other reasons a child pulls away.

Have you built support beyond mates after being isolated?
Did men's group, peer support, men's shed, run club, or volunteering help you belong again?

HAPPY DIWALI

Wishing a joyful and blessed Festival of Lights to everyone celebrating Diwali around the world... ✨

Today, we especially honour the men and boys who bring light into their families and communities through courage, wisdom, kindness, responsibility and service.

May this Diwali inspire boys to grow into good men, fathers to lead with love, and families to flourish together.

Diwali reminds us that light triumphs over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.

May every man, woman, boy and girl find peace, purpose and happiness.

🙏 Shubh Deepavali! 🪔
