HASSL Joins the Human Risk Podcast to Talk About Men as Allies

Today, HASSL founder Amy Watson joins Christian Hunt on the Human Risk Podcast to tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: how do we prevent violence against women – and what role do men have to play? Listen here!

This powerful episode explores why traditional responses to harassment and violence fall short, and why the focus can no longer be on what women should do to keep themselves safe. Amy shares the personal experiences that led her to launch HASSL, the entrepreneurial mindset that shaped its strategic model, and how our five-stage plan is designed to attack the root causes of harassment – through education, community engagement, and innovative reporting technology.

Crucially, the conversation highlights the importance of bringing men into the movement – not as part of the problem, but as essential allies. Together, Amy and Christian discuss how to move from awareness to meaningful change, and what practical steps everyone can take to create safer spaces.

This appearance is a key moment in Stage 1 of our five-stage plan: building the foundation for systemic change by opening up the conversation, challenging outdated narratives, and inviting society as a whole to take responsibility – particularly men who have the power to shift culture.
