Stop It At The Start: talking to your children about domestic violence

Not all disrespect towards women ends in violence, but all violence against women starts with disrespectful behaviour.  We want to set good examples for the young people we influence in our lives.   Stop It At The Start has practical resources so together, we can work to stop violence against women.  

 

Tom is joined by TV and radio host and journalist Carrie Bickmore and together they interview Patty Kinnersly, CEO of Our Watch to talk about how best to have these conversations, because it’s not just one big conversation, it’s many little ones.

 

In this special episode of The Briefing, Tom and Carrie discuss the campaign from a parents’ point of view – the link between our endemic violence against women and attitudes of disrespect and gender which start as children.  Every little talk you have shapes them. When you bring up respect, respect grows.
