In this episode of For Her, With Her, we tackle a crucial but often overlooked part of preventing violence: how we hold people who use violence to account. Lucy Gregory, CEO of Domestic Violence Prevention Centre (DVPC), joins us to unpack how accountability goes beyond the justice system. Lucy reflects on why language matters when talking about people who use violence and how we can support men to step into healthier, safer versions of masculinity. We also discuss how programs, like those provided by SPEAQ and Men’s Line Australia, support men to take responsibility and discuss the barriers that still exist, including a lack of investment in prevention programs, as well as culturally safe, community-led responses for First Nations and diverse communities. Lucy shares her hopes for a future where equality is the norm, and where services like hers are no longer needed.
If you or someone you know needs support, you can call Men’s Line Australia or connect with local behaviour change programs via SPEAQ. For those affected by violence, reach out to Women’s Legal Service Queensland or call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency. DISCLAIMER:
