Men’s collective anti-violence activism and the struggle for gender justice

Michael Flood argues that men’s anti-violence activism is an important element in the project of ending violence against women (VAW). Men’s groups focused on gender-based violence have emerged in over a dozen countries. In such mobilizations, members of a privileged group act in ways which undermine that same privilege. Men’s efforts to end men’s violence embody partnerships across gender lines and enhance gender justice. © 2001 The Society for International Development.
