Educator and author Dr Jackson Katz discusses why all men need to be part of ending violence against women, and what they can do to help
Dr Jackson Katz is the co-founder of one of the longest-running gender violence, sexual harassment and bullying prevention programmes in the world. He talks to Anushka Asthana about how Sarah Everard’s death has provided a teachable moment for men to be actively involved in conversations and actions against misogyny.
It’s not enough, he says, to tell yourself that if you’re not part of the problem, you’re part of the solution. Jackson discusses the bystander approach with Anushka, which involves creating a culture that motivates everyone to get involved in challenging and interrupting all forms of abuse, and helping to create a climate in which abusive attitudes, beliefs and behaviours are seen as unacceptable.
