Sexual Violence Prevention Agency Joins Call to oust Blanc from NZ
A National Network of Sexual Violence Agencies TOAH-NNEST has joined the call from Women’s Refuge to ban a group of
American ‘pick-up artists,’ Real Social Dynamics, from coming to New Zealand.
A member of the group, Julian Blanc, was deported from Australia after promoting the choking of women. “Anyone giving
‘dating’ advice that encourages emotional manipulation and physical force goes against our greatest aim of promoting
healthy and respectful relationships,” says Claire Lyons, a spokeswoman for TOAH-NNEST. This national network has more
than 60 member agencies providing specialist services for sexual violence prevention and intervention.
