Men Speak Out on Violence Against Women - Monday, May 12, 2014 10am-noon
Together We Can: Men Speak Out on Violence Against Women
What can boys and men do about violence against women? Glen Canning, Rehtaeh Parsons’ father, will help answer this question at our upcoming speaker series event. Join us for this honest and compelling discussion about positive masculinity.
With recent events on university campuses in the city and beyond, many men in the community want to help. Now’s the time to step up.
Our panel of speakers will touch on questions including: What does it mean to be a man? What lessons can we draw from high profile events—both good and bad—in terms of how we view and treat women? How can boys and men model positive behaviours?
Let’s talk. Together, we can make a difference.
Presenters: Glen Canning, activist and Rehtaeh Parsons’ father; Chief Charles Bordeleau, Ottawa Police Service; Caroline Andrew, Chair, University of Ottawa Task Force on Respect and Equality; Councillor Shad
Qadri, Chair, Crime Prevention Ottawa Board of Directors
Chair: Adrian Harewood, Anchor, CBC News: Ottawa
