Jackson Katz

Jackson Katz is a prominent activist, educator, and author known for his groundbreaking work on gender-based violence and the role of men in combating misogyny. With over 40 years of experience, Katz advocates for the perspective that violence against women should be viewed as a men's issue, emphasizing the necessity of male accountability to foster cultural change. He has worked extensively in various sectors, including education and the military, to engage men in discussions about misogyny and to inspire them to challenge abusive behaviors within their peer groups. His recent book, 'Every Man: Why Violence Against Women Is a Men’s Issue,' aims to provide a practical toolkit for men seeking to take a stand against gender-based violence. Katz argues that the current political climate, particularly the rise of figures like Donald Trump, has intensified the urgency of his message, marking a troubling regression in the fight for women's rights.
