Domestic violence: Care programs for men who engage in violence (MEV)

Abstract

We introduce the current picture of psychosocial interventions with men devoted to eradicating violence against women, describing the special care program for men who exercise violence taking place in both the developed and the Third World countries for over thirty years. It also makes clear the different types of care ranging from strategies to promote non-violence, primary, secondary and tertiary prevention in its various forms, to the promotion of active involvement of non-violent people in actions to eradicate gender violence.
