Daryl has mobilized the U.S. Marines, Air Force, and the Departments of Navy and Defence to recognize abusive behaviours towards women in every-day scenarios and interrupt them--and now he's showing you!, Since 2005, the Alberta Council of Women's Shelters (ACWS) has been inviting leading men for breakfast to learn about the prevalence of violence against women, and talk about what they can do to make positive change., The Breakfast with the Guys event has been replicated around the world as a powerful way to engage men - the good guys, the majority - on this critical social issue. Each year, we create a new conversation that has men asking, "What kind of world do I want my daughter, partner, mother, friends to live in?", Out of this think-tank has evolved new legislation, powerful prevention collaborations, tuned-in workplaces and new supporters for women's shelters and ACWS. The most important outcome is that the Breakfasts help male leaders see how leveraging their sphere of influence and modelling behaviors in small ways, every day, is the most impactful way to end women-abuse for the long-term., Thursday, November 13, 2014, 7:00 to 9:00 AM, Shaw Conference Centre - Hall D, 9797 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton, AB, T5 J 1 N9, Doors open & breakfast buffet served at 7:00 AM, Program begins at 7:30 AM *More info*: acws.ca….
