“…Kahn & MacPhail, 2015). Similarly, while providing a safe space for the practising of alternative masculinities is important, it will often be difficult for men to sustain the impact when faced with disapproval or censure in the broader community (Peacock & Levack, 2004). Thus, including community engagement as an aspect of a preventative intervention can play a big role in creating a more supportive community for men.…”

“…Son birkaç yıl içinde, kadına karşı şiddeti önlemede özellikle erkek hareketini içeren, erkeklerin rol ve sorumluluklarına odaklanan ve kadına karşı şiddetinin son bulmasında sorunun çözümünün bir kısmının erkekler olduğunu vurgulayan görüş, artan ilgi görmektedir. [5] Şiddetin sonlandırılması konusunda verilen mücadelede erkekleri de kapsayan ve cesaretlendiren, toplumsal cinsiyet ve kadına yönelik şiddet konusunda farkındalık sağlamak amacıyla erkeklere yönelik atölye çalışmaları, polis eğitimleri ve kadına yönelik şiddeti önlemek amaçlı erkeği içeren kampanyalar gibi pek çok yenilikçi girişim geliştirilmiştir.

ÖZETŞiddetten korunma programları tarih boyunca kadınlara odaklanmış ve kadın-lar üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Kadınların hala güçlendirilmeye, eşitliğinin ve güvenliğinin sağlanmasına ihtiyacı vardır. Ancak, erkeklerle çalışmanın bölge-sel ve kültürel alanlarda güçlü bir etkisi olabileceği, öğretmenlerin, sağlık çalışanlarının, polislerin, askerlerin, imamların, rahiplerin, papazların ve yerel liderlerin şiddetle mücadelede olumlu rol modeller olabileceği, daha huzurlu bir aile yaşamı ve toplum için insanlar arasında etkileşimi sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir. Son yıllarda, cinsiyete dayalı şiddetin son bulmasında erkeklerin rolü ve erkek işbirliği, kadına yönelik şiddetin sonlanması hareketinin önemli bir unsuru haline gelmiştir. Ancak erkeklerin şiddetle mücadeledeki rol ve görevlerinin önemini vurgulayan, halkı bilinçlendirmeye yönelik çok daha fazla çalışmaya gereksinim vardır. Kadına yönelik şiddetin temel sorumlusu olan erkeklerin, aynı zamanda kadına yönelik şiddetin sonlanmasında önemli mücadeleciler de olabileceğini gösteren çalışmaların vurgulanması gerekmektedir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Kadına yönelik şiddet, erkek, erkek işbirliği ABSTRACTHistorically, violence prevention work has been driven by and focused on women. Women still need to be center stage in terms of empowerment, equality and safety. There is a strong potential in work with men in local religious and cultural institutions. Teachers, health care personels, polices, soldiers, imams, priests, monks and local civic leaders wield broad influence, can serve as positive non-violent role models and can make the connections between local beliefs and more peaceful homes and communities. However, many more studies are needed for public awareness and stressing the importance of the role and duties of men to ending the violence. The men are

“…In general, however, few rigorous evaluations have assessed the impact of these programmes on violence. In Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States, Men As Partners provides education and skills-building workshops for men to explore their attitudes regarding sexuality and gender and promote gender equality in relationships (50). The project provides enhanced health-care facilities for men, leads local and national public education campaigns and advocates for change at national and international levels.…”

This briefing for advocates, programme designers and implementers and others is one of a seven-part series on the evidence for interventions to prevent interpersonal and self-directed violence. The other six briefings look at reducing access to lethal means; increasing safe, stable and nurturing relationships between children and their parents and caregivers; developing life skills in children and adolescents; reducing availability and misuse of alcohol; changing cultural norms that support violence; and victim identification, care and support.

OverviewPromoting gender equality is a critical part of violence prevention.The relationship between gender and violence is complex. Evidence suggests, however, that gender inequalities increase the risk of violence by men against women and inhibit the ability of those affected to seek protection. There are many forms of violence against women; this briefing focuses on violence by intimate partners, the most common form. Though further research is needed, evidence shows that school, community and media interventions can promote gender equality and prevent violence against women by challenging stereotypes that give men power over women. School initiatives are well placed to prevent violence against women.School-based programmes can address gender norms and attitudes before they become deeply ingrained in children and youth. Such initiatives address gender norms, dating violence and sexual abuse among teenagers and young adults. Positive results have been reported for the Safe Dates programme in the United States of America and the Youth Relationship Project in Canada. Community interventions can empower women and engage with men.Community interventions can address gender norms and attitudes through, for example, the combination of microfinance schemes for women and methods that empower men as par...
