Subject: Announcing: New INSTRAW Program: Men's Roles


Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the launch of INSTRAW’s new programme "Men's
Roles and Responsibilities in Ending Gender Based Violence."

This project will examine, through a variety of forums, the issues facing
men and women regarding gender-based violence. By surveying and synthesizing
the theories, issues, practices and experiences of practitioners, experts,
policy-makers and academics working in this area, this programme will enable
us to make policy recommendations and create training materials for
individuals and organizations working to end gender-based violence.

The first major event will be a panel discussion at the Commission on the
Status of Women entitled "Racism, Class and Masculinity: the Global
Dimensions of Gender-based Violence." This will be followed up with a
bulletin board discussion, a virtual seminar series, papers, and more
through the GAINS website: www.un-instraw.org, as well as at :
www.un-instraw.org/mens-roles.html. For further information on the CSW panel
discussion, please see the attached document.

We look forward to your participation, and invite you to inform your friends
and colleagues who may find this topic of interest.

Warm regards,

James Lang

Research Coordinator

United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the
Advancement of Women (INSTRAW)
