00:04 city in the world, that women on a regular basis suffer sexual harassment, sexual abuse,

00:11 violence. Across the country, every three days, a woman is killed at the hands of a man that's not

00:17 on. So what this part of the campaign is about is giving them the tools, the confidence to check

00:23 and challenge their friends, their mates who may be acting inappropriately in a sexist or misogynistic

00:29 way. Two things which we're doing is launching an interactive immersive film of 20-something men

00:37 and you can see in this role play, if you like, what's taking place. Separately, one of our

00:47 people the tools, the word 'mate', in a respectful way to challenge their mates who are acting

00:52 inappropriately. We're hoping changing people's attitudes, changing men's attitudes, will lead to
