Man Up Campaign 2014 launched today


MAN UP – Make Ireland the safest place for women and children



When we cast off the chains.Manup
Of having to be macho.
Game face on, emotions in check,
- we free ourselves.
We are amazing men.
Men who feel.
Men who talk.
Men who respect women.
Who play with children.
Who know how to love.

Who act against domestic violence.
Who stand against abuse
When we do that, we don’t weaken our manhood.
We strengthen it.
A man’s man is a woman’s man too.
Man Up.
Strong men stand against domestic violence.

There are simple and powerful things you can do to make Ireland the safest place for women and children. You can challenge the traditional images of manhood – of being macho. You can speak against domestic abuse. You can take time to listen and learn more about violence and abuse and the impact it has on women and children. You can be part of a culture shift that respects women and children as equals. You can take safe action if you suspect abuse or if you think a friend or relation needs help.
