Matt Brown: She Is Not Your Rehab co-founder on violence against women continuing to be so prevalent

Violence against women remains one of the world’s most persistent and under-addressed human rights crises. 

A report from the World Health Organisation says that 1 in 3 women, an estimated 840 million globally, have experienced partner or sexual violence during their lifetime, a figure that has barely changed since 2000. 

In Australia and New Zealand, 24.5 percent of women have been sexually or physically abused by a partner. 

She Is Not Your Rehab co-founder Matt Brown told Kerre Woodham that society has done a great job in normalising anger as the best outlet for men, which looks like rage and violence towards the people they say they love the most. 

He says there need to be more systems in place to educate men in emotional regulation, making things like grief or sadness a normal part of conversation.
