Prof Nicole Westmarland, Sandy Ruxton and Dr Stephen Burrell carried out research with Dr Anna Lena Almqvist and Dr Linn Egeberg Holmgren in Sweden, and Prof Custodio Delgado Valbuena in Spain, about men who are taking a public stance against violence towards women. We sought to highlight the stories of men who are already engaging in anti-violence activism in these three countries, and understand the social, cultural, political and economic factors which can support more to become involved. We wanted to learn from these men’s experiences in order to help build the movement to end violence against women.
We wrote a book based on the research, published by Policy Press in July 2021 – you can find out more, and read it for free as an open access e-book, via the link below. We have also written several commentary pieces around this topic.
