Founded in 1982, Men Stopping Violence (MSV) is an Atlanta based nonprofit that provides organizations, communities, and individuals with the knowledge and tools required to mobilize men to prevent violence against women and girls. MSV’s mission is to engage men and communities to take action to end violence against women and girls. To that end, MSV works locally and nationally to organize a critical mass of men who will work as allies and advocates in the movement to end violence against women and girls. MSV directly intervenes with more than 2,000 men each year through events, trainings, basic domestic violence education classes, and in-depth 24-week courses.
