The Sydney Morning Herald features the "We're better than that" campaign
The Sydney Morning Herald featured the “We’re better than that” campaign in a recent edition. Made in partnership with the Hope Believe Shine Foundation, it is a video series created to promote respect and healthy relationships and encourage men to be active bystanders when they witness behaviour that condones and contributes to violence in our communities.
The videos feature Colin Fassnidge, Bruce “Hoppo” Hopkins, Luke Carrol, Mike Whitney and Rishi Achayra. They encourage men to take a role in addressing domestic violence and abuse.
