TED TALK (2012) Jackson Katz: Violence faite aux femmes – C’est un problème d’homme.

La violence domestique et les abus sexuels sont souvent appelés « problèmes de femmes ». Mais dans cette conférence courageuse et pleine de franc-parler, Jackson Katz montre que ce sont des sujets intrinsèquement masculin — et montre comment les comportements violents sont liés aux définitions de la masculinité. Un coup de clairon pour nous tous – femmes et hommes – à critiquer les comportements inacceptables et être les leaders du changement.

Jackson Katz asks a very important question that gets at the root of why sexual abuse, rape and domestic abuse remain a problem: What’s going on with men?
