On 28th October 2023, an engaging talk by the Founders of the ‘She Is Not Your Rehab’ (Matt Brown and Sarah Brown) was organized by the New Zealand High Commission from 11am -12.30pm. Two of STOP’s members, namely Ms. Smritikana Ghosh Paul (Senior Programme Manager) and Ms. Sakshi Gaur (Counsellor) attended the event. It focused on the importance of innovative domestic violence prevention and the founders’ personal experiences. A question was posed by Ms. Gaur around the future implications of the movement and the ways in which the founders plan to grow it further. Matt translated his own healing journey into a message of personal responsibility, behaviour change and healing for men so they may step more deeply into connected, healthy, nourishing relationships which do not continue the cycle of violence. The event reached its finale with introduction of their book “She is Not Your Rehab”, showing Matt’s own story and those of his clients; their survival, healing and turning into new leaves, ready to embark unto peaceful, altruistic relationships.
