It's your problem, too.

Occasionally, the SMH gives space to some amazing opinion pieces, such as this piece on violence against women by White Ribbon Foundation chairman, Andrew O'Keefe .

What makes Mr O'Keefe's piece stand out? He's focusing entirely on his behaviour, the behaviour of the men around him, and their influences on each other when it comes to stopping violence against women. And this is what we need. Whilst I begrudgingly see the logic in harm minimisation campaigns and education, we need more focus on holding accountable everyone who is complicit in violence of any kind against women, whether it is the perpetrator themselves, or the person who laughs off their friend's violent or inappropriate behaviour with a 'boys will be boys' or 'I shouldnt get involved' or 'it's not really doing any harm, is it?'

He not only identifies the issue, but he owns it. He understands that violence against women is HIS problem, too. He also recognises the massive role that men play in the attitudes of their friends, their brothers, their colleagues, and that it's up to each individual to stand up and say or do something when women are denigrated, or threatened, or subjugated.

Yes, he's plugging his foundation. But he's doing it in a way that is empowering and constructive and isnt at the expense of women's autonomy or self-esteem.
