Resetting the male mindset - will a police plan bring change?

Can young men learn to check their behaviour towards women and girls, and also challenge their misogynistic mates? Audrey Carville and guests discuss the latest PSNI initiative.

This week the PSNI laid down a challenge to men and boys everywhere. Check your behaviour towards women and girls. Step away from negative attitudes. Challenge your mates. And have the confidence to step in safely and put a stop to potentially abusive behaviour.
The Power to Change campaign comes as figures show that between January 2019 and December 2024, thirty two women and girls were killed by men. And there were 92 attempted murders from December 2018 to November '24.
In the Republic, 1,250 attacks in the home were reported every week last year.
Will initiatives such as this PSNI plan bring real difference over time?
