Todd Minerson, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션95, has travelled all over the world trying to inspire men and boys to help stop violence against women. His work has taken him to Nepal, Brazil, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Zambia, Papua New Guinea and throughout Europe and North America.
The next trip for the Executive Director of the White Ribbon Campaign 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a project started in Canada in 1991 that has spread to over 60 countries 카지노 게임 컬렉션 will be to Kingston. The history graduate is looking forward to bringing his anti gender-based violence message to a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s audience on Thursday, October 17. Todd credits his Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 days for kick-starting his passion for social justice issues.
카지노 게임 컬렉션When I first started at university, I wanted to be a tax lawyer and make lots of money,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Todd, who now lives in Toronto.
He arrived at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s at a time when the 카지노 게임 컬렉션No Means No카지노 게임 컬렉션 campaign was taking off around Canadian campuses and there were lots of conversations about gender-based violence and LGBT issues. A combination of some inspiring history professors and Todd카지노 게임 컬렉션s work as the AMS VP of 카지노게임사이트 Affairs (1993-94) changed his outlook from tax lawyer to social justice.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I had had some amazing professors 카지노 게임 컬렉션 such as Geoff Smith and Karen Dubinsky 카지노 게임 컬렉션 who opened my eyes to systems of oppression and justice, as well as power and privilege issues,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Todd. 카지노 게임 컬렉션My time at the AMS exposed me to the amazing work that happens in communities by social justice organizations and movements.카지노 게임 컬렉션
After graduating, he had three job offers in one day 카지노 게임 컬렉션 one with a business franchise, one at TSN editing sports highlights, and a part-time job offer with an HIV-AIDS organization in Toronto.
Todd followed his instincts and chose the part-time job. It was the right move: he has now been with the White Ribbon Campaign for more than seven years. He feels it is a dream job.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I don카지노 게임 컬렉션t know what else I카지노 게임 컬렉션d be doing. I consider myself lucky to have this job,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Todd.
His role at White Ribbon has led to several United Nations projects, including the UN Secretary General카지노 게임 컬렉션s Network of Men Leaders. He was also the co-chair of the Global Symposium on Engaging Men and Boys in Gender Equality in Rio de Janeiro in 2009.
During his talk at Queen's, Todd will talk about strategies to prevent gender-based violence.
Todd wants men to take a critical look at the role power plays in society today. One way he does this during his lectures is to ask the men what they do every day to protect themselves from being sexually assaulted. The men usually make a few jokes, but basically it is not something they consider. Then Todd asks the women 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and the list of responses is long, everything from trying to avoid walking alone at night to never leaving their drinks alone at a bar.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I want men to listen to women카지노 게임 컬렉션s fears of violence and some of the harmful ideas of masculinity that perpetuate violence,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Todd. 카지노 게임 컬렉션People need to get involved as a family members, friends, bystanders, and coworkers. There is no end to the way that small steps can add up to big changes.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Todd카지노 게임 컬렉션s talk takes place on . Admission is free. This event is open to the community.
