We are hosting an online, international survey of men who have attended events related to preventing gender-based violence. This is the third phase of a larger project aimed at describing the range of approaches used globally to engage men proactively in the prevention of violence against women. Past phases of the project included:

• An online survey of international violence prevention agencies, and men's and fatherhood organizations to assess worldwide efforts to engage men in violence prevention.
• In-depth interviews with organizations around the world that engage men in violence prevention, to understand their programs and strategies for inviting men into prevention.
