Generally, men make up the majority in terms of who perpetrates violence but then again not all men do it. This is a positive step to mobilize men to take an active role in ending violence by not committing acts of violence and also by encouraging them to intervene in cases where violence is taking place

Men should be proactively engaged in understanding the cost of male privileges to them and then society at large. Due to their privileged status in the community, men tend to commit acts of violence sometimes unconsciously by just being bystanders and sometimes keeping silent over violence committed by other men. This is in itself is a major drawback in the fight against violence be it Sexual, physical, emotional, economic or socio-cultural forms of violence. The time to stand up and be counted is now!

It is time for men to shape up, rise up, man up, and say no to all forms of violence!

Silent bystanders are only just a notch below the perpetrators.............

In every society, no matter how patriarchal, there are individuala that abhor the violence.......men who when they embrace the MEGEN message, become proponents of gender equality.
