Polished Man

I'll be joining UTS and their Polished Man campaign next month in a stand against gender-based violence and raising money for a worthy cause. I volunteer for the UTS Respect.Now.Always. team and Velocity Empowerment will partner with some wider stakeholders over the next 12 months and beyond. Thanks to Elizabeth K. for inviting me to be a Champion!

Proud to be a Polished Man ambassador for the third year in a row! 💅🏼💙 Yesterday, on The Morning Show, I had the chance to share my story and speak about the mission of Polished Man: to end violence against women and children. By painting one fingernail blue, we represent the 1 in 7 children who experience violence before the age of 18 and the 56 women who have tragically lost their lives to men’s violence this year alone. This small act symbolises our commitment to creating a safer world for everyone. If you have the means, please consider donating to support this crucial mission. Every contribution helps 💙 Donate here: https://lnkd.in/gC3Vkycy

We have a really exciting opportunity for a brand partnership with Polished Man via our Voice Your Promise promotion. If your business would like to make a difference, and help end violence against women and children, please reach out ASAP.

"Pivoting the perpetrator" is crucial for addressing domestic violence and coercive control by focusing on the abuser's actions and responsibilities. Alongside this, initiatives like The Polished Man Campaign encourage #men to stand against violence by painting one fingernail to represent the 1 in 5 children who experience violence. #mentalhealthcrises Together, we can support survivors and promote accountability. Let's pivot our perspective, demand accountability, and unite for a safer world. #PivotToThePerpetrator - Dr. Christine Marie Cocchiola #ThePolishedMan #EndMalePatternedViolence #NotAllMenButEnough #DomesticViolence #VAWA #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #ToxicRelationship #MeTooFamilyCourt™ #Love #Mom
