What can girls and women do to prevent male violence against women?

What can girls and women do to prevent male violence against women? What can boys and men do? Are there things you think that men can do more effectively on this front than women? Explain. Were there any statistics presented in the course material about domestic
violence that surprised you?

Consider the following notes from Jean Kilbourne’s presentation:
Violent images make some people more aggressive, they desensitize just about everybody, and they make most people more likely to blame the victim.
The most dangerous image is one that eroticizes violence. Many ads feature women in bondage, battered, or even murdered.
Battering is the single greatest cause of injury to women in America.
One-third of all the women who are murdered in our country are killed by their male partners.
Advertisements that objectify men have increased dramatically in recent years. Although
objectification doesn’t have the same violent consequences for men that it has for women, there have been recent studies that show that the objectification of men is beginning to take a toll on men’s self-esteem.
