Engaging Men & Boys to End the Cycle of Violence Conference

Engaging Men & Boys to End the Cycle of Violence Conference

Violence rarely starts as violence. Long before it shows up, there are gender norms that go unchallenged, trauma that goes unsupported, and power dynamics and social conditions that allow violence to occur.
That’s where  the conversation at this conference begins.
Now in its 5th year, the Engaging Men & Boys to End the Cycle of Violence Conference is a landmark two-day conference brings together Australia’s leading researchers, frontline practitioners, survivor advocates, and policymakers to confront one of our most urgent national challenges – and map what comes next.
Across two days and two specialist streams, you’ll explore what drives men to use violence, what stops them, and what the sector can do to evolve. From coercive control and behaviour change programs to early prevention, fatherhood, schools, digital harm, and the manosphere – every session is built for people doing the hard work.
Hear from 40+ speakers, including world-leading experts, First Nations voices and lived experience advocates.
Men and boys have a critical role to play in building a future grounded in equality, respect and shared responsibility.
This is not another conference about the problem. It’s about what we do next.
