Men Stopping Violence Case Study Law Assignment Help

Assignment Task

Men Stopping Violence:
Using the readings from weeks 8-11 of this unit, evaluate Because We Have Daughters, from Men Stopping Violence, for its the effectiveness as a primary prevention of a gender-based violence (GBV) initiative. The focus of this task is to assess the program according to how well it functions when evaluated against the academic literature. What does the research tell us about what makes a successful, effective primary prevention program? Demonstrate your knowledge of the important concepts from the readings provided in the second half of the unit by critically applying them to this real-life case study. Starting with Heise’s Ecological Model of Violence, to what extent can Because We Have Daughters be considered a successful primary prevention program? 

• How well does it
• address the drivers of gender-based violence?
• integrate a gender-power analysis?
• challenge restrictive gender norms? 
• model alternative and inclusive masculinity?
• engage men as allies?
• teach healthy relationship skills? Etc. 

Task

Use theoretical models, concepts and evidence contained within other unit readings, too, to fully critique the program and then identify how social workers can support programs like this and contribute to primary prevention violence against women (VAW) more generally.

ABOUT THE CASE STUDY: BECAUSE WE HAVE DAUGHTERS.

Men Stopping Violence: Working Together for Change (MSV) is a 39-year-old not-for-profit organisation in the US whose mission is to engage men and communities to take action to end violence against women. Through partnerships, listening, and experience, MSV builds knowledge of the issue of patriarchal violence, leads critical societal conversations, and provides participants in programs with the skills they need to become change agents in their communities.Because We Have Daughters provides a unique opportunity for fathers to learn about their daughters’ realities by sharing activities, followed by discussions about insights they gained. MSV believes that programs like BWHD helps men understand what it would be like for their daughters, and all women, to live fully and freely without fear of violence. Go to the Men Stopping Violence website for the video, “The World Needs More Dads” and further information about this program.
