Our Watch is seeking quotes from an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander consultant or organisation to consult with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and deliver findings for policy and practice recommendations in relation to engaging men in primary prevention efforts.
About this project
Our Watch is seeking to increase organisational knowledge and research in relation to engaging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men's expertise and knowledge in primary prevention. This is Our Watch’s first dedicated project focused on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men’s knowledge and experiences that will surface important contributions already being made towards engaging men in preventing violence against women nationally.
Consultations of this nature, at a national level, may be able to inform or identify program and project development for primary prevention, workforce development, identify gaps in service delivery and funding for community led work. The consultation would seek to understand:
- how we consider men's business in understanding primary prevention including development of more appropriate language
- explore how ideas associated with colonisation, racism and patriarchy impact on Indigenous men's views of masculinity and how these beliefs influence their role in preventing violence
- considerations about any possible connection between men's mental health and violence against women
- the need to recognise the importance of healing, identity and engaging in cultural practice and its role in early intervention and prevention practice.
