Mr. Colm Kelly Ryan:

The Deputy's question was valid. There is a level of innovation in the draft third national strategy whereby we begin to talk about prevention and we are clear on what that means. It was nearly a subpoint in the first and second national strategies - it was a paragraph. When discussing deconstructing structural inequalities, structural human rights abuses, structural racism and structural discrimination against LGBTI+ communities, though, it requires more than a subparagraph. It requires a commitment as well as structural and tangible priorities. I use that term strongly because it is a priority. I hope that, in finding its role, the committee will share our view that prevention is a priority if we want to change these circumstances. We in the network say that prevention is better than intervention. If we can prevent it from happening and can engage with men and boys using a strengths-based, non-judgmental and non-adversarial approach on changing the norms in society, creating safe spaces for reflection and moving towards action, that is how we will make change happen. This is how we do our work. If we want to become a more human rights and gender equal society-----
