I'm painting my nail blue to build a future free from violence.

Every person deserves to feel safe and cared for. But the stigma on men to hide their feelings and act tough is hurting their mental health, and in a lot of cases leading men to think it's acceptable to control or even harm women and children. 

1 in 3 Australian men have admitted to using intimate partner violence

Polished Man helps to flip the script: encouraging men to open up, ask for help, take accountability and show up for the people they love.

One painted nail starts a conversation. It's a small, visible sign that helps create new possibilities for how we show up for ourselves and each other.

Help build a safe, caring community free from violence. Funds raised go directly towards backing local leaders, safer workplaces and storytelling that shifts the culture for good. It’s time to take accountability.

Thanks for your support.
