What does being a man mean to you? – Preventing Violence Together
This is a two-sided A4 exercise you can do with men to break down gender stereotypes and consider some ways to break free of the pressure of the “manly” box. This can be used with a dad’s group, at a men’s shed meeting, after training at a sporting club or alongside any activity where men gather together.
This is the youth version of this resource where we’ve included some examples that are more specific to younger people. This version could be used in a classroom at school, with sporting clubs or any other youth activity with a group of boys.

YoungN Deadly Dijun Way – Turn Up Respect
The Dijun Way program in Broome raises awareness of family and domestic violence with young people in schools and provides them with tools to have healthy, equal, and respectful relationships through their 6 modules: dating, relationships, masculinity, sex and consent, emotions and role modelling. This video is a showcase of the program by the Australian Department of Social Services. This video can be a helpful example if you’re interested in having programs like this in your community.
