About

The Men’s Nonviolence Project seeks to encourage men to take an active role in ending men’s violence against women. MNP provides information, resources, and connections to inspire and support the involvement of men and boys in preventing domestic violence.
Domestic violence is a concern for men and women, boys and girls, people of all genders, cultures, sexual orientations, and communities. Throughout the state of Texas, across the country, and around the world, men and boys are choosing nonviolence and taking a stand on this issue.

The Men’s Nonviolence Project:

  • offers information about what people are doing to engage men and boys in domestic violence prevention in Texas and elsewhere
  • provides forums for people to build on what we know about how to get men and boys involved in ending men’s violence against women
  • offers consultation and training on involving men and boys
  • connects people with tools and networking opportunities

What is Men’s Violence?

Of course, not all men are violent, and not all violence is committed by men—but men’s violence is a significant problem, and it contributes to many others forms of violence. The Men’s Nonviolence Project is about choosing nonviolence, promoting nonviolence among men and boys, and creating a world where everyone can live free of violence, with complete safety and respect.On the road to men’s nonviolence, definitions of men’s violence can be a helpful starting point.

Definitions of Violence

Acts, beliefs and institutions that break human connections and by which one person or group exerts power over another.
Violence or abuse is any action or words that injure or instill fear in another person. It is the misuse of power by one person or group of people with the intent of controlling, oppressing or punishing others.

Men’s violence against women frequently occurs between those who know each other. Forms of men’s violence in relationships include family violence, sexual assault, dating violence, child abuse/neglect and use of pornography. More than one form of violence may occur in a relationship; in fact, this is not unusual.
