This is a practical guide for families and communities to develop violence free-education. The guide is divided into three modules: methods for the prevention of intra-family violence, the promotion of child development, and the rights of children and adolescents. It also presents group work techniques, and offers a list of bibliographical references, websites, and organizations working to end violence.

Program P is an educational manual that provides concrete strategies for engaging men in active caregiving from the stage of their partner’s pregnancy through their child’s early years. It identifies best practices on engaging men in maternal and child health, caregiving, and preventing violence against women and children.

The manual is developed for health workers, social activists, NGOs, educators, and other individuals and institutions that aim to promote men’s roles as caregivers as a starting point for improving family well-being and achieving gender equality.

This article describes the development and psychometric evaluation of the Gender-Equitable Men (GEM) Scale, a twenty-four-item scale to measure attitudes toward gender norms among young men. The selected key domains on gender norms, or scale items, are developed and relate to sexual and reproductive health, sexual relations, violence, domestic work, and homophobia. It was found that more support for equitable norms (i.e., higher GEM Scale scores) is significantly associated with less self-reported partner violence, more contraceptive use, and a higher education level. 

MenCare is a global campaign to promote men’s involvement as equitable, responsive and non-violent fathers and caregivers with the aim of achieving increased family well-being and gender equality. This report is an overview of the campaign and provides tools to promote social norms around men’s active participation as involved fathers and caregivers. It provides high quality community and mass media messages, technical assistance, policy and program recommendations and evidence to support local NGOs, governments and UN partners in their efforts to engage men and boys in caregiving.
