    Why Can't This Man Talk About Rape?

    How easy is it for a man to talk about rape? Do they have any right to get involved in the conversation? Do we care what they have to say? In this video Clear Lines Festival speaker Chris Packe shares his thoughts (and feelings).

    'Let my response to events be the measure of my virility' Thank you Chris for saying the things that are hard to say. We need more men to get involved in conversations about rape, assault and abuse. Which means we need to recognise how hard that can be. Talking about abuse is hard - even for those of us who do it all the time.

    Get involved in the conversation at the UK's first festival on sexual assault. Chris will be part of 'Where have all the good men gone?' at The Clear Lines Festival in London on 1st August.
