Violence against women is a men’s issue

Yes, violence against women is a men's issue, and men must take an active role in addressing and preventing it. Men are the overwhelming majority of perpetrators of violence against women, and it is up to men to challenge and change the attitudes and behaviours that contribute to this violence.

Men can play an essential role in preventing violence against women by speaking out against harmful and sexist attitudes and behaviours, modelling healthy relationships and respectful behaviour towards women and supporting women who have experienced violence.
