Exploring the positive influence media can have representing men and masculinities

Register for Our Watch’s webinar for a solutions-focused discussion about wise practice portrayal of men and masculinities in media reporting in order to prevent violence against women.  

From moving away from stereotyped portrayals of men in all media reporting, to considering how best to portray perpetrators when reporting on violence against women, this session will support you to put a gender lens on your reporting – whatever the subject matter. 

The webinar will be launched by Dr Stephanie Lusby (Respect Victoria) who will introduce findings from the Willing, Confident and Capable report. Natalie Russell, Sector Development Lead at Our Watch, will moderate the panel.
