As Australia grapples with a wave of violence against women that the prime minister has called a “national crisis,” one state now has a designated official in charge of one of the biggest potential solutions: changing men’s behavior. Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan announced last week that state lawmaker Tim Richardson had been appointed parliamentary secretary for men’s behavior change, in what she said was the first position of its kind in Australia.
“Once they are exposed to something, it’s in their feed over and over and over,” said Richardson, a 35-year-old father of two girls. “So how do we change that and give them positive role modeling, positive and healthy masculinities?” he continued. “What does that look like? And how do we empower them as well?” Statistics suggest gender-based violence in Australia is getting worse.
