You can read this article and come away with the impression that finally someone found a quasi-celebrity spokesperson who wants to teach boys and young men to recognize when they're being abused and put a stop to it. More likely, what she means by teach boys about domestic violence is to gaslight them that if a girl hits them, they probably deserve it.
It's similar to when they talk about teaching inner city black and latin youth about combating racism. If your an inner city mother in the audience you might think "ah, yes, they'll do something about black and latino gang fighting each other! My kids will be safe!"
Except they're using the white supremacist definition of "racism" and since black and latino kids hating each other due to racial bigotry doesn't meet that definition, that's not what they're going to address.
