New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence Launches Pledge for Accountability: Engaging Men & Boys Against Gender-Based Violence
OPDV has launched the year-long Pledge of Accountability: Engaging Men & Boys Against Gender-Based Violence, a digital Pledge created by the Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence that encourages men and boys to become better allies, to recognize many of the behaviors that contribute to gender-based violence are associated with negative masculine stereotypes, and to speak up against gender-based violence in their lives. All signatories of the digital Pledge will receive a Certificate of Accountability that can be shared on social media.
Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence Executive Director Kelli Owens said, “Men and boys are key partners in our mission to eliminate gender-based violence. Start the Conversation: Engaging Men & Boys gives individuals the tools to begin speaking with the men and boys in their lives about gender-based violence and to call out harmful actions and words when they see it in their own lives. OPDV is proud to partner with Lieutenant Governor Delgado as the first to sign The Pledge for Accountability Against Gender-Violence: Engaging Men & Boys.” |
