This mailing list is closely linked to the programme activities and is the

The mailing list will last only the duration of the programme (June-December

this free programme, you will be asked to participate in discussions to
respectfully share your opinions and experiences.

CALL FOR PAPERS - We are issuing a call for working papers with suggested
topics focused on alliance building and public policies to support violence
prevention initiatives that involve men.
Deadline for abstracts is 30 June 2001.

THE VIRTUAL SEMINAR SERIES is a series of collaborative seminars focused on
men and ending gender-based violence. Experts and activists in the field
facilitate each seminar.  The Series BEGINS 20 JUNE with the question "How
can conversations around men, masculinities and power help us understand and
end gender based-violence?"  Facilitated by Robert Connell (University of
Sydney).
