Klappentext

Why have we failed so badly to end men's violence against women?
What can we actually do about it?

This insightful, provocative and practical handbook suggests a bold and potentially game-changing solution.

Pioneering educator, expert scholar, and activist Jackson Katz has spent the last 30 years educating people around the world on men's violence against women, and advocates that although not all men are part of the problem, every man can -- and should -- be part of the solution.

In this galvanizing book, Jackson reveals indispensable everyday tools that will help men from all walks of life become part of the solution to gender-based violence. Find out how to respond when a friend or colleague makes a misogynistic comment; learn how to intervene in incidents that may seem small but can lead to violence; and discover how you can become a role model for boys and men who need positive leadership in their lives.

This is the essential reading for every man who wants help build a healthier and safer society.
