She was fleeing her ex-boyfriend Steve\, who’d been abusing her on a daily basis. Now\, all these years later\, Attiya has asked Steve to meet. She wants to know if he is willing to take responsibility for his violent actions. This emotionally raw first meeting\, filmed by Attiya with Steve’s consent\, is the starting point. The rough footage also marks a new beginning in Attiya’s recovery process—as well as an important starting point for Steve. For the first time ever\, he speaks of the abuse and opens the door to dealing with the past. Illuminating a new paradigm for domestic-violence prevention\, “A Better Man” offers a fresh look at the healing and revelation that can happen for everyone involved when men take responsibility for their abuse. It also empowers audience members to play new roles in challenging domestic violence\, whether it’s in their own relationships or as part of a broader movement for social change. –National Film Board of Canada URL:https://www.antiviolenceproject.org/event/film-a-better-man-2/ LOCATION:Cincenta\, SUB\, UVic\, Student Union Building\, Victoria CATEGORIES:UVic ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.antiviolenceproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/gorge-victoria-bc-scaled-e1649284150894.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20170913T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20170913T203000 DTSTAMP:20260601T203501 CREATED:20170810T155256Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170810T155256Z UID:5356-1505329200-1505334600@www.antiviolenceproject.org SUMMARY:Film: A Better Man DESCRIPTION:This film\, showing at Cinecenta in the Student Union Building\, is a powerful documentary about relationship violence.

We have safer sex supplies\, stickers\, colouring pages\, buttons\, zines\, and volunteer applications. Come find us by the fountain at UVic! \n*Note: the word “welcome” has a specific meaning in the context of colonization and settlers’ presumed entitlement to Indigenous lands\, bodies\, and cultures. Many Indigenous peoples have processes to welcome and greet visitors and so the word has particular colonial implications when visitors (especially settlers) say “welcome” to territories that aren’t ours to welcome people to. As part of AVP working to learn and unlearn we are seeking to be more aware of how we use language\, and encourage other people who are not from local nations to also be aware of this. When other mixed organizations use “welcome” in the title of an event that we are participating in\, we will put it in quotation marks and include an explanation of some of the issues around how this word is used.

Our 30-40 hour training\, held once a year (October and possibly the first week of November)\, provides information about gender-based violence and intersecting forms of violence\, prevention\, support and outreach. Volunteering with us is an opportunity to contribute to community on and off campus\, be involved in activism\, learn a range of skills\, and meet like-minded folks and form lasting friendships. \nWe only have 20 volunteer training spots available so after reviewing applications we may interview short-listed applicants. We then invite successful candidates to attend the training. Topics covered in training include: colonization\, sexualized violence and consent\, bystander intervention\, sex positivity and desire\, gender beyond the binary\, and self and community care. AVP’s training is done from an anti-colonial\, intersectional framework. We conclude the training by having an exit interview to confirm that the volunteer and AVP’s work are a good fit. \nVolunteers are expected to commit to working with AVP throughout the Fall and Spring term for an average 1–3 hrs/week. Volunteer roles include: supporting survivors\, allies\, and people who have caused harm; outreach initiatives that may include peer education; engaging groups through activities and table displays; research projects; writing blog posts or book reviews; helping with administration tasks\, and facilitating workshops. We also collaborate and volunteer with many groups to commemorate\, celebrate\, resist\, and protest in the form of marches\, cultural events and gatherings\, joint conferences or workshops. \nFor more information see https://www.antiviolenceproject.org/volunteers or email volunteer [at] antiviolenceproject [dot] org.
