This domestic violence offender is now a positive masculinity role model | Compass | ABC Australia

Victim, turned offender, turned survivor – Darryl Gardiner is a much-needed voice in the conversation about Australia’s domestic violence crisis.

Exposure to violence defined Darryl’s early life, before he turned to violence himself. But after getting help, Darryl broke the cycle and now empowers others.

This is part of the Compass series “I Changed My Mind About”, which follows Australians grappling with deep questions and transforming their beliefs.
