Men Speak Up: Ending Violence Together
Men in high-profile leadership positions from across BC have come together to speak out about violence against women in this ground-breaking non-partisan new film. The film combines news footage from recent cases of domestic violence homicides in BC with short interviews about the importance of men speaking to other men to challenge societal attitudes about violence against women. A partnership between the EVA BC and ERA BC.
