Bravery
| Challenge Social Norms |
|
Sexist jokes and language help create a world where forms of violence and abuse have too long been accepted. Words that put women and girls down reflect a society that has historically placed Aboriginal women in a third class position. By reflecting this reality they once again put women “in their place” even if that isn’t the intention. One of the most difficult things for men is to learn to challenge other men, to challenge sexist language, to challenge men who talk lightly of violence against Aboriginal women and to challenge men who act violently. |
