Men Taking Action

Men can play a huge role in ending gender-based violence. Men are part of a solution; That means being prepared to interrupt, stand up to, and prevent violence in the spaces we work, live, hang out, and study in.

Helping a Friend

Telling someone about violence, abuse, harassment, or coercion takes a tremendous amount of bravery. Most survivors never tell a helping professional about the violence they have experienced.

Recognizing Risk

By learning the signs of lethality in an abusive relationship, friends and family can help to keep women and children safe and prevent femicide.

Why Femicide Inquests are Important

Inquests provide an opportunity for a public examination of a death in the context of looking for system changes that could prevent similar such deaths in the future.
