Through a partnership with Pollen Midwest, we created a case study to learn how Men As Peacemakers has developed a range programs that promote gender equity, repair harm and prevent future violence.
Excerpt from the Case Study
Men As Peacemakers (MAP) aims to end violence against women and children, with a specific focus on preventing sexual assault, dating violence and domestic violence.
Listening
On a daily basis, Men As Peacemakers staff solicit feedback and collaboration with domestic violence survivors, women, Native Americans, people of color, LGBTQ community members and children. In the organization, all voices are welcome, respected and equal.
Emphasize Learning
Employee orientation at Men As Peacemakers is a little different. Sure, there are tax forms to fill out and email accounts to set up. But they take things a step further than a presentation from in-house HR by giving new staff training opportunities in everything from Batterer’s Intervention, advocacy, movement building, strategic organizing, group facilitation and a long list of issue-specific topics.
