Working with Men: strategies and challenges in engaging men in building non violence and gender equality

Efforts to engage men in preventing men’s violence against women are gaining momentum around the country and the world.

Men are becoming involved as participants in education programs, targets of social marketing, activists and advocates, and policy makers and leaders.

First then, what do we know about effective practice in engaging men in violence prevention? What works, and what doesn’t?

Second, what are the challenges and controversies of this work?

In this interactive workshop, you will gain insights about engaging men, learn about best practice, and address dilemmas and difficulties.
