TED TALK (2010) Tony Porter : un appel aux hommes

A TEDWomen, Tony Porter lance un appel aux hommes où qu’ils soient: « N’agissez pas comme une homme. » En racontant des histoires puissantes tirées de sa propre vie, il montre comment cette mentalité, enfoncée dans le crâne de tant d’hommes et de garçons, peut conduire les hommes à manquer de respect, à maltraiter, et à abuser des femmes. Sa solution : se libérer de la « boîte à hommes ».

Tony Porter is an educator and activist who is internationally recognized for his effort to end violence against women.

Tony Porter is the visionary and co-founder behind the nonprofit A Call to Men: The National Association of Men and Women Committed to Ending Violence Against Women. Porter’s message of engagement and self-examination has connected powerfully with numerous domestic and sexual violence programs for such high-profile groups as the National Football League and the National Basketball Association, and colleges and universities around the country, including the US Military Academy at West Point and the US Naval Academy at Annapolis. Porter is also an international lecturer for the U.S. State Department, having done extensive work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

He is a faculty member of the New York State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services Academy of Addiction Studies, where he co-authored their curriculum for clinicians who work with chemically dependent African-Americans. He also specializes in developing social justice models for human service organizations.
