"It all began as a reaction against men’s violence – and men’s silence about it. A network was formed that eventually became the non-profit organisation MÄN, which over the years has developed expertise and well-known methods in violence prevention.
The network began with a call to action in a Swedish daily paper in 1993, in reaction to the violence against women and children in the wars in the Balkans (1991–2001). When the wars broke out in the early 90s, various human rights organisations reported how women and children were being systematically subjected to sexualized violence during the armed conflicts. In the call, the signatories wrote that this violence must end and that men themselves must do something about men’s violence."
