Office of Violence against Women
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has chosen Men Stopping Violence (MSV) to provide training and technical assistance for the first national initiative to engage men in the work of addressing violence against women. The goal of the program is to increase the number of males involved in primary prevention programs that drive awareness and education about violence against women and girls.
This two-year initiative, "Engaging Men in Preventing Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking," is part of the 2005 Violence Against Women Act and will be administered by the DOJ's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Some of MSV's responsibilities for this project include convening educational meetings of all grantees, assisting with the development of a curriculum for community-based organizations on domestic violence, providing basic and advance training to grantees, creating and electronically distributing reproducible materials for use by grantees and providing on-site and remote technical assistance as needed by grantees.
For more information on MSV's work with the OVW, contact Lee Giordano at 404.270.9894.
