menABLE study on gender-based violence

The menABLE project (Empower Manpower against Gender-Based Violence Online) recently unveiled a new study on gender-based violence online that aims to pave the way for educational strategies to help combat this issue. The study presents a comprehensive synthesis of the key findings that emerged from the literature review, qualitative focus groups, and semi-structured interviews involving diverse stakeholders and experts in the field. By documenting the current situation, it identifies specific areas for intervention and conducts a comparative analysis across partner countries (Belgium, Denmark, and Greece). Serving as both a theoretical and empirical foundation, the report contributes to the project's educational and awareness-raising initiatives, including valuable insights to combat gender-based violence (GBV) online. Visit the menABLE website to learn more and download the study.

Educators and teachers interested in addressing gender-based violence in online environments are invited to utilise the materials from a recent menABLE MOOC (mass open online course). This course provides essential tools and knowledge to help guide students through the challenges and complexities of gender-based violence in digital spaces. Although the active MOOC delivery phase has now passed, those with an interest can still enrol to access the resources.
