EVERY MAN

Why Violence Against Women is a Men’s Issue, and How You Can Make a Difference





The paradigm-shifting book about men's violence against women, how it affects us all, and how men are the only ones that can stop it

Until now, violence against women has been seen as a women's issue that some good men help out with but Jackson Katz argues that, in fact, it is a men's issue and every man has a role to play in preventing it. Jackson, the world-leading expert, unpicks the causes of gender violence and shows how we can dismantle them, revealing a path to a brighter future. There are sections on:

- The triad of male violence that affects us all: women, other men and themselves, through suicide
- The importance of inviting rather than inciting men to act out of responsibility rather than guilt
- Men's responsibility as leaders and role-models for young men
- The Bystander Approach: how we can all speak up against misogyny safely and effectively.

In a world where the headlines are continually filled with stories of sexual violence and misogynistic hate WHY NOT ALL MEN? is an urgent and vital read for anyone who wants to make the world a safer place.

Praise for EVERY MAN

Unflinchingly honest, Every Man equips men with the tools to become true allies. Katz doesn't offer empty promises or performative gestures; instead, he lays out the concrete actions every man can take to help dismantle gender violence. This is the handbook our culture so desperately needs

Jameela Jamil

A must-read for men who want to learn more about what they can do to end violence against women

Professor Nicole Westmarland, Durham University Centre for Research into Violence and Abuse

True ally-ship can be hard to come by in this area and harder still to define, but Katz has laid out a blueprint for what men can do and is leading by example. An important book at a critical time

Emma-Louise Boynton

The violence that some men commit against women and girls is an issue for all men: it harms the women and girls we love, gives all men a bad name, and hurts our communities. Jackson Katz invites every man to have the courage to speak up and challenge this abuse. Katz is an outstanding educator and thought leader, and this book provides essential tools, language, and action for making change

Professor Michael Flood, author of Engaging Men and Boys in Violence Prevention

Bold but deeply rooted in compassion, Katz's writing offers us a roadmap too compelling to ignore. This is the kind of wisdom you feel inspired to study over and over again

Gina Martin

In this timely and urgent book, Jackson Katz calls on men to confront the uncomfortable truths about male violence. He offers a practical and transformative blueprint for those who want to play a crucial role in promoting safe, healthy relationships. Katz's efforts have a movement not only in North America but globally. I urge all men-especially those who love the women in their lives-to read this book and reflect on the critical role they can play in breaking the cycle of violence

Deeyah Khan, BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and human rights activist

This book is a powerful starter guide for men who are willing to challenge the roots of misogyny within themselves and society. Katz calls on men to take accountability and be active allies in ending violence against women and girls, which we have all been asking for. The book I'm going to give to the men in my life who are at the beginning of their journey into understanding feminism

Patsy Stevenson

The right book by the right person at the right time. Katz provides not just a compelling why, but also the tangible how, giving men the reason and the tools to be an active part of making the world a fairer and safer place. In an increasingly volatile world, this book tackles an uncomfortable reality in a way that brings people together. This is a must-read for any man looking to break free from the systems that hold us back

Lee Chambers, psychologist and Founder of Male Allies UK

Gaining the ability and confidence to interrupt sexist behaviour from men is the main purpose of Katz's book ... a practical toolkit for men to think about ways in which they can challenge difficult behaviour

The Guardian

Refreshing ... Katz is someone who cares as much about men as we feminists do about women, and reading his book - which is clearly set out as a call to action, more men might be inspired to join him

The Telegraph
