The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) has launched a call for applications for the 2021 Grants to Engage Men and Boys as Allies in the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls Program.
The EM Program supports projects that create educational programming and community organizing to encourage men and boys to work as allies with women and girls to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
Purpose Areas
Funds under this program must be used to develop and/or implement strategies that engage and mobilize men and boys at individual, group, relational, and societal levels to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking, through one or more of the following purposes:
- Develop and/or implement programming to recruit and train men and boys to serve as role models, positive influencers, change agents, and/or mentors to address and prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking.
- Integrate education on domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking (the four VAWA crimes) into established support and/or enrichment programs (e.g., mentoring, youth services, sports, fraternal, faith-based, fatherhood, re-entry, and educational programs) to assist men and/or boys in developing healthy relationships, challenging social norms that support violence against women and girls, becoming active bystanders, and understanding the intersection of the four VAWA crimes and other types of related violence (e.g., gang initiation, gun violence).
- Develop and implement a train-the-trainer program for community organizations or programs, and/or governmental agencies or programs, to incorporate education and/or training into their existing work with male clients to prevent violence against women and girls.
