#About the event

Duration: 60 minutes

Boys Will Be Boys examines what needs to change for gender equality to become a reality. It answers the question most asked of Clementine Ford: 'How do I raise my son to respect women and give them equal space in the world? How do I make sure he's a supporter and not a perpetrator?' Come along to hear the answer.
