While we support the various Australian Governments in raising awareness about violence against women, we are appalled by the continued demonisation and vilification of men in advertising by the Governments.

Both men and women perpetrate violence and abuse. Both men and women are victims of violence and abuse. This is not an issue that affects only one gender. This is an issue that affects both genders, young and old.

The continued demonisation and vilification of men has no place in a modern and civil society.

We call on the various Australian Governments to cease the demonisation of men and address the issue as a whole.
