Toward Gender Equity: Supporting Healthy Masculinities for Sexual and Domestic Violence Prevention
There is a need to move away from harmful associations of masculinity with dominance, control, risk-taking and even aggression toward a culture that promotes respect and safety for people of all genders. This web conference will build off of the evidence base around engaging men and boys as allies highlighting examples of communities taking action in new ways. Guests will share how they engage in authentic dialogues about gender equity, masculinities, and accountability as a way to support potential transformation of our cultural norms and prevent sexual and domestic violence. Presenters will also discuss opportunities to move from work with small groups to bringing conversations to diverse audiences in inclusive and community-specific ways.
