Join Mandy Nolan and a panel of men stepping up and taking responsibility for leading change to end gender-based violence for this important conversation

When it comes to stopping gendered violence, women are tired of leading the call for change. Mandy Nolan believes its men who can make the difference. While not all men are violent, all men can do something to transform harmful ideas and messages.

During the annual global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Mandy Nolan hosts a conversation with men who are leading change:

  • David Shoebridge - Leader of the Australian Greens
  • Francis Nona - Torres Strait Islander man, Registered Nurse, Senior Lecturer in Indigenous Medical Education at QUT, and former strong man 
  • Dave Harmon - Advocate against Domestic and Family Violence, and member of Ballina Rotary
  • Charlie Valentine - comedian and content creator, and Mandy’s 25 year old son!
