What if the roots of war were planted at home? In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, host Cherri Jacobs Pruitt sits down with Dr. Riane Eisler and Dr. Gary Barker to uncover how violence inside families is directly connected to violence in our communities and across the globe.
Together, they reveal how domination-based relationships in childhood normalize conflict, while care-based relationships grow empathy, equality, and peace. From global campaigns to engage men in caregiving, to laws that treat violence in the home as seriously as violence in the streets, Eisler and Barker share stories, research, and bold visions for a cultural shift.
Their message is urgent and hopeful: if we want to end war, we must start where we first learn what love and power mean โ in our homes.
Key Themes
- How family violence creates patterns that ripple into community and global violence.
- Why care-based relationships in childhood can prevent violence and cultivate peace.
- Global examples: menโs caregiving campaigns, laws against family violence, and cultural shifts that value care.
- The partnership vs. domination framework as a roadmap for transformation.
