Welcome to the website of Dr Jade Levell; Researcher, author, speaker, and activist. Dr Levell has spent her whole career working to end violence. In recent years this has been through the academic exploration of masculinity, vulnerability, and violence. As a child survivor herself, she has an unrelenting passion and has worked her way from a rape crisis volunteer, refuge worker, strategic Domestic Violence Coordinator, professional trainer, and now to an academic and author. Although her roles have changed the questions have remained the same;

How do we prevent male violence?

How do we ensure children are safe?

How do we protect boys living with DVA and stop them from repeating harmful expressions of masculinity?

How do we deal with the crossover of child victims and child perpetrators of violence?

How do we recover and heal as adult child-survivors?

How do we ensure perpetrator accountability for victims?

How do we enable perpetrators to change?

“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.” ― Desmond Tutu.
