Greetings friends of White Ribbon Campaign (WRC).
It is our sincere pleasure to share with you the launch announcement of
our latest resource: */Engaging Men and Boys to Reduce and Prevent
Gender-Based Violence/*, an Issue Brief commissioned by Status of Women
Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The Issue Brief was commissioned to provide an overview of efforts to
engage men of all ages in efforts to reduce and prevent gender-based
violence in Canada and around the world.
English and French versions of the document can be downloaded from our
website. http://whiteribbon.ca/issuebrief/
This Issue Brief is rooted in three basic premises:
1. *Work with men and boys is necessary*. As perpetrators, the target
audience for primary prevention, holders of social norms,
influencers on other men, and positive agents of change; men must
to be engaged to reduce and prevent gender-based violence.
2. *Work with men and boys can be effective*. As the evidence base
grows, evaluation data appears, lessons are learned, and best
practices are shared, we know this may be the missing compliment
to past decades of work.
3. *Work with men and boys can be positive*. There is a much broader
spectrum of positive roles for men and boys to play than
perpetrator or potential perpetrator of gender-based violence.
These roles not only prevent and reduce violence against women and
promote gender equality, but also improve the lives of men and
boys by freeing them from these harmful and limiting aspects of
masculinities.
The Issue Brief examines the many dimensions of gender-based violence;
impacts on communities of interest; the evidence base, frameworks,
strategies and positive roles men can play; and finally some of the
risks, limitations and additional considerations in this field of work.
In all of our efforts at the WRC we salute the courage and conviction of
every woman and organization that has fought for gender equality and
struggled to end violence against women and girls; you have been at the
fore of this work for decades, we are humbled and inspired by the work
you have done. Many of you have been integral parts of that effort, and
that is why we wanted to share our official launch today, */Wednesday
October 19^th , 2011/*. It is our sincere hope that this Issue Brief
will contribute to our shared vision of ending gender-based violence in
Canada.
Please feel free to share this resource announcement widely to your
contacts and social media outlets..
Please accept my apologies if you have received this email more than once.
Until the violence stops,
Todd
