Engaging men in preventing men’s violence against women and/or building gender equality: Practical guides, manuals, and curricula

How can we effectively engage men in preventing men’s violence against women and/or building gender equality? How can we mobilise their commitment and activism?

The following guides and manuals provide useful guidance on the practicalities of this work. Three highly recommended resources among these include Promundo's Manhood 2.0 curriculum (2018), the Rural Challenge Toolkit (2017), and USAID’s Engaging Men for Gender Equality (2023). Most of the manuals and guides listed here are available in full text in PDF. Also see further below for other resources.
