Men’s Nonviolence Project
Men and boys are key partners in the primary prevention of domestic violence. The Men’s Nonviolence Project (MNP) facilitates and supports the involvement of men and boys in addressing the root causes of men’s violence against women.

TCFV has also produced several high-quality print pieces in English and Spanish in support of the BIPP work. Samples are available to all for free and quantities can be provided to organizations within Texas. Quantities for those outside Texas may only be provided at cost.
“Men Make Choices” is a folded palm card based on social marketing research, which speaks directly to men. It lays out examples of abusive behavior and asserts that “Choices Have Consequences” and “If you abuse, you can choose to stop.” The Spanish version is called “Hombres de Verdad Escogen.”
“Do the Right Thing” asks men to speak up and get involved when they see male friends or family members acting abusively. The brochure says, “What can you do? Say something! If you don’t your silence is the same as saying abuse is okay,” before offering specific phrases that might be used to intervene. The Spanish version is called “Haz lo Correcto.”
