Today, Lucretia chats to Dr Michael Flood, an internationally-recognised researcher on men, masculinity, gender equality and violence prevention. This episode tackles the gender gap between men and women’s awareness of sexual violence. In a wide-ranging discussion, Lucretia and Michael explore how socialisation impacts young men and, in particular, how it shapes their attitudes about violence against women.
They take a deep dive into the importance of creating social and cultural change through our media, sport, workplaces, schools and in the home. They also discuss strategies that can encourage men to take action and put a stop to sexual violence.
