Change will occur if we each accept personal responsibility to make sure change happens. As men who care about the Aboriginal women in our lives, we can take responsibility to help ensure that women live free from fear and violence.

Make a personal pledge never to commit violence against Aboriginal women. It is a personal pledge not to condone acts of violence, not to make excuses for those who use violence, and not to think that any woman “asks for it.” It is a pledge not to remain silent. It is a pledge to challenge the men around us to act to end violence.
