The Oregon Men Against Violence Initiative (OMAV) is a collaboration of local and campus organizations in Oregon seeking to engage men and boys, standing beside women, girls, and all people, as allies in the effort to prevent and respond to men’s use of violence. With a commitment to promoting diversity and social justice, fostering healing, and ending oppression, the Oregon Men Against Violence Initiative facilitates networking, the sharing of ideas, and collective action between individuals and organizations striving to support and encourage men’s engagement as allies in the prevention of gendered violence in Oregon.
