Planting the seeds to grow a safer society


AS an educator who is deeply concerned about the pervasive issue of violence in our society, I’ve come to realise that our approach to preventing intimate partner violence (IPV) needs a significant shift, “Love should be pain-free” (The Star, Aug 13).

While our efforts to protect and empower women and girls are undeniably crucial, they are only half the equation. To truly make a difference, we must broaden our focus and actively engage boys and men in this critical conversation.
