Community
Youth have had few opportunities to participate together in addressing violence against women. Man Up is changing that by reaching out to create a coordinated global network of young leaders to build this community. Man Up provides a long-awaited space for young people around the world to meet, virtually and in person, to share ideas and resources, collaborate, and join together to stop violence against women.
Man Up is building a global community of organizations and individuals working to stop violence against women. We do this by:
Connecting young leaders to organizations in their region and those working on related issues around the world.
- Exposing young leaders to existing organizations,good works and best practices in their countries and globally
- Using our website and social media to highlight international and community-based programs addressing violence against women
- Holding regional summits that bring together experts from the field with young leaders ready to learn more
- Requiring that summit delegates partner with existing organizations for support and accountability
Connecting young leaders to each other
- Summits: Our regional summits expand the network of young leaders from each region, and bring change-makers from the same area to meet in person and learn from experts and one another. Regional summits bring together and grow the community of youth taking actions to stop violence against women.
- Social networking: Through social networks we facilitate peer to peer learning and intellectual exchange, social and professional networking, and access to global practitioners from a range of relevant fields.
- Online magazines: Our MUzine enables young leaders to share their stories, ideas and creative expressions around the issue of violence against women.
- Blog: The Man Up Campaign Blog serves as a daily forum to inform, discuss, and share news, policy, events, and experiences around the movement to stop violence against women and girls. The blog is operated by Man Up Campaign staff, and seeks contributions from members, partner organizations, media and our Man Up team. Along with social networks the blog provides an additional space for young leaders to voice opinions and share comments.
