We’ll be donating $2 from every tote bag sale all month long.
WHY POLISHED ‘MAN’?
Around 95% of all victims of violence, experience it at the hands of a male perpetrator. Approximately 4 in 5 family and domestic violence offenders are male and more than 1 in 3 Australians have experienced violence by a male perpetrator since their 15th birthday.
While most men do not use violence against women and children and believe it to be unacceptable, many stand by and do little to prevent it, allowing it to continue.
This is why Polished Man encourages men to step up, speak out and take a stand. As carers, leaders and protectors, men have a positive and vital role to play in helping to stop violence against women and children. Polished Man want men to say enough is enough and take action to create a safer world for all women and children.
They are called Polished ‘Man’, but they want to empower everyone to become part of the solution. Polished Man need as many hands (and nails) as they can get to tackle these global issues to make sure no woman or child have to live with violence.
