How To Speak With Men In Your Life About...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

We've had conversations about men's violence against women and domestic violence on this podcast for 5 years, but to say that it's still a huge problem in Australia would be an understatement. Many people feel as though we've been speaking about this for decades. It's time that men were a part of the conversation and the solution. This episode with Tarang should help you have those conversations with the men in your life. 

Tarang Chawla is a keynote speaker, writer, broadcaster, advocate and academic at Monash University. He is also the co-founder of ‘Not One More Niki', an organisation working to end men’s violence against women.
Tarang’s younger sister Niki (Nikita) was murdered by her former partner in 2015. She was 23 years old. Tarang has worked tirelessly to educate people about the cultural, political and individual factors that can contribute to men’s violence with the goal of reducing men’s violence.

In our conversation we spoke about:

  • The patterns of behaviour that lead to violence
  • Creating a solution focussed conversation with people who say ‘not all men’.
  • What has changed in the past decade surrounding domestic violence awareness in the public and in government
  • How men can be the solution
  • Tarang’s personal opinions on ‘justice’ for murderers
  • Why media and institutions shape the narrative of who the perpetrators of violence
  • How we teach boys and girls about their place in the world
