A number of high-profile incidents of violence against women in public places have captured the media in Melbourne in the past six months, reigniting debates about why this violence or harassment happens, where it comes from, and what can be done to address it.
This panel discussion will explore these issues, focusing particularly on questions around women's freedom of movement, the structural dynamics that make gendered harassment so common, and the use of social media in raising awareness and sharing experiences.
We'll also ask how men can be engaged in the prevention of men's violence against women through addressing gender inequality and the underlying structures of mate privilege and entitlement.
