We also provide a Men's Stopping Violence Programme called No Excuses. Understanding domestic violence is key to making safe changes, because how we think about violence shapes our response to it. Overwhelmingly, it is a social problem of men's violence against women and sometimes children. It is based in deep-seated beliefs in male superiority. Not all men believe in male superiority.
Men have a strong role in modelling non- violent behaviour.
We can talk with, challenge, support, and educate our brothers, fathers and sons, so that the new generation of men are trustworthy family members. Our agency encourages men to value equality with women and non-violent lifestyles. The wheel was developed in Duluth, Minnesota, USA by battered women who identified the main abuse tactics used against them by their male partners.
