Resource Sharing
Through our Resources page, the bimonthly Engaging Men Digest, and the email listserv, OMAV facilitates the sharing and dissemination of strategies, best practices, and other valuable information to promote the effective participation of men in the anti-sexual violence movement.

Engaging Men Webinars
Our webinars seek to connect experienced practitioners and researchers in sexual violence prevention and men’s engagement with all those conducting violence prevention and education work in various communities, with the goal of sparking dialogue, recognizing the intersections within our work, and increasing the effectiveness of all community-based efforts.
