Engaging Men & Boys to End Violence in the Family

White Ribbon and CCMW partnered to create the Engaging Men & Boys to End Violence in the Family Project. This three-year project was funded by the Status of Women Canada and focused on engaging and encouraging men and boys from Muslim communities to end violence in the family.

To create this toolkit and other resources, White Ribbon and CCMW conducted research and facilitated seven focus groups between January and February 2016. Interviews were held with key individuals, an online survey was distributed and there was extensive research and consultation with stakeholder groups.

Engaging Men & Boys to End Violence in the Family

This toolkit provides resources to support communities to inspire, encourage and engage men and boys to end violence against women and girls. These activities have been organized into four modules:

  • Unlearning patriarchy and exploring links to violence against women and girls

  • Questioning gender norms and stereotypes

  • Fostering healthy relationships, and

  • Effective intervention strategies
