Just want to take time out to recognize that it's not only women who are making an effort to end violence against other women, but that men are also doing their part. Men have mothers, sisters, aunts, and daugthers and it would pain them to see the women in their life affected by violence. One sure way to help eliminate violence would be to educate the abusers, perpetrators, and those who have witness violence and are at risk themselves. One organization that is dedicating its mission to educating men to prevent violence against women is Men Stopping Violence. The organization offers a 24-week program which provides ongoing support, connection, and opportunities to volunteer. Their work is focused on prevention--to help make sure it doesn't even happen in the first place.
It's a wonderful effort and to find out more ways to help or about the organization check out their twitter, website and a blog detailing their efforts.
