The disruption of male violence requires meaningful engagement with men and boys. Mataio Taimalelagi Brown and Sarah Claire Brown demonstrate this through their impactful work, addressing violence with both directness and compassion. Their approach acknowledges a crucial truth: male violence creates ripple effects of harm across society – affecting women, girls, men, and boys alike. When someone chooses violence, they: • Damage their relationships and connections • Create lifelong vulnerabilities and trauma for their children • Ultimately harm themselves We must recognize that emotional, mental, spiritual, and social health are incompatible with using coercion and violence for control and domination. These behaviors corrode one's core and lead to isolation. For those of us who grew up with violence normalized as relationship, personal healing and accountability are essential steps forward. "She's Not Your Rehab" offers concrete, actionable pathways toward this transformation – providing a model that benefits us all. #EndMaleViolence #PersonalGrowth #Healing #ShesNotYourRehab #SocialChange #MensHealth #BreakingCycles

Restorative justice is a transformative approach that prioritizes healing, accountability that repairs, and community restoration over punishment. By focusing on repairing harm, we create a justice system that serves everyone. Restorative justice provides a platform for those who have been harmed to have their voices heard and their needs addressed. It allows those who have caused harm to understand the impact of their actions and take meaningful steps toward making amends. Ultimately, it strengthens our communities by fostering understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. Let’s work together to shift towards a justice system that truly heals and restores. #RestorativeJustice #HealingCommunities #JusticeTransformation

Restorative justice is a transformative approach that focuses on healing and rehabilitation rather than punishment. It seeks to repair harm by fostering dialogue between victims, those who caused the harm, and the community. This process allows for accountability, promotes understanding, and helps rebuild trust. By addressing the root causes of harm and addressing the needs of everyone impacted, restorative justice offers a path towards true healing and lasting change. #RestorativeJustice
