AVDA's Committed Men program aims to redefine masculinity, reduce violence

Article here. Excerpt:

'One out of three women has been a victim of physical or sexual violence. But what if we could prevent domestic abuse before it happens?

That's the goal of AVDA's (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse) prevention team. Specifically, its "Committed Men" program, which specifically works with young men and boys to prevent intimate partner violence. The goal is to create the social change necessary to reduce dating and domestic violence in the future.

AVDA's men and boys’ prevention program goes into schools, churches, athletic clubs and community centers to mentor young boys, teaching them the difference between healthy and hurtful masculinity. The program challenges their beliefs and attitudes and expands the definition of what it means be a man.'
