9 Risk Factors vs Protective Factors

10 Risk Factors Individual low self esteem, depression, unemployment, gender roles, prior history, low academic achievement, desire for power and control, etc. Relationship marital instability, male dominance, economic stress, unhealthy family relationships, etc. Community poverty, low social capital, peer behaviors and attitudes, weak community IPV sanctions, etc. Societal gender norms, societal norms that maintain women's inferiority, high violence tolerance levels.

11 Risk Factors Latino Migrants Low Academic Achievement Job Insecurity Live under poverty lives Male dominated culture Machismo Language Barriers Live in Geographically Isolated Areas Documentation?

12 Protective Factors Emotional health Connectedness with friends & adults High socioeconomic status Latino Migrants Familism Respectism Collectivism Personalism

13

14 Freirean, peer educational approach Latino males explore attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs about IPV Gain the skills and vocabulary to encourage others to develop healthy relationships Become advocates against IPV Define healthy relationships through group dialogue Take ownership of the issue

15 This reframing of the cultural norms that condone intimate partner abuse and resulting advocacy are expected to reduce IPV in our local communities.

16 Popular Education Educación Popular a concept grounded in notions of class, political struggle, and social transformation. popular = of the people more specifically refers to the popular classes, which include peasants, the unemployed, the working class and sometimes the lower middle class

18 The Hombres Unidos Experience

19 Hombres Unidos Primary prevention 5 session curriculum Latino migrant men Source: MCN Hombres Unidos curriculum

20 Workshop Ideology Men can be naturally loving, sensitive, nurturing human beings. Many men can and want to help stop violence against women. Men who provide support for each other have the power to change the social acceptance of violence. We cannot define perfection and we can only change ourselves; we cannot change anyone else.
