I joined this. They don't include males in the talks nor webinars.

From their strategic plan, first point:

"[...]This includes taking a gender-informed approach, understanding that domestic abuse is a form of Violence Against Women and Girls, recognising the impact of gender on all victims and survivors."

and on a later page:

"[...] A solid grounding in the experiences of victims and survivors safeguards the Commissioner’s independence and ensures that we remain focused on the right priorities. It also involves taking a gender-informed approach to domestic abuse, recognising that it is a crime that disproportionately affects women and girls and is a form of Violence Against Women and Girls. "

I don't know, feels like you should not spread this site here. Even id the law says they are not allowed to discriminate, it seems they will.
