Steve Garrett

I’m a Cardiff (Wales)-based social entrepreneur, writer, poet and musician (aka ‘Stainless Steve’). I have a long-standing involvement with promoting gender equality and have helped to organise workshops and retreats at which men have been encouraged to reflect on the assumptions, attitudes and actions which result in harm to women. In my view, male gender violence is very much a ‘men’s problem’, and it’s up to all men to do whatever we can to end it. I’m a White Ribbon Ambassador https://www.whiteribbon.org.uk, a volunteer with Beyond Equality https://www.beyondequality.org which runs gender-awareness workshops for boys in schools, and a workshop facilitator with the Alternatives to Violence Project https://avpbritain.org.uk. I’m officially ‘retired’ but keen to contribute in any way I can to creating a world in which all women and girls can feel safe all the time.
