Taking Action in November
It’s true that part of the problem of woman abuse is individual. Lots of men are not abusive. An individual can change their behaviour and become less violent (usually with help).
But part of the problem is our culture. Our attitudes and beliefs about how women and girls should be treated are part of this. The excuses we make about why some men abuse women also are. So are our gender roles and the idea that it was just a joke or that it wasn’t that bad. And more.
