SEEKING STRATEGIES ON PARTICIPATION OF MEN IN WORKSHOPS
ON GENDER INEQUALITY AND DV
Hi there
I am a postgraduate student in the UK and am working on a project to
increase the awareness of gender inequality in societies, especially
close-knit communities. Has anybody any strategies on how to involve men in
these workshops, as more often than not, they shy away from attending
workshops that raise such issues including the issue of domestic violence.
My main objective is to find ways to attract men to attend such seminars and
educate them on domestic violence and the importance of sharing parental
responsibilities in marriages.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
warmest regards

LOOKING FOR FINANCIAL EXPERT FOR AUDIT OF FAMILY CRISIS CENTER
I am a board member of Family Crisis services, a domestic violence
center. We are a small non-profit agency. I have been asked by our board to
find an account to audit our records. We have had a great deal of trouble
with the director of our program. We need our records checked and audited.
But as a small agency, we are trying to have it taken care of pro-bono if
at all possible. I would greatly appreciate any information you could give.
Thank You
