Transforming Men and Boys to End Violence Against Women
Title: Transforming Men and Boys to End Violence Against WomenDate Recorded: Thursday, May 7th, 2015
Description: As we develop a deeper and more complex understanding of the underlying root causes of violence against women and children, we have been challenged to examine our current approaches to engaging with men and boys. Understanding male socialization and the history of childhood exposure to violence and trauma is critical to our ability to develop prevention and intervention responses that are humanistic & compassionate and don’t minimize responsibility. Our presenters share their passion for creating change, taking risks and believing in the possibility of healing and transformation for all.
Learning Objectives:
- Expand our understanding of the broader impact of male socialization and trauma on women, men and children.
- Increase knowledge and techniques for applying a compassion and accountability framework to engaging with men and boys.
- Explore promising multicultural intervention and prevention approaches to engaging with men and boys.
