Fathers & Brothers Care
Fathers & Brothers Care is a program that aims to enroll boys and men of all ages, cultures, classes, background, and abilities to become allies in stopping the violence against women and girls.
Fathers & Brothers Care is based on the premise that females and males are equal citizens of the earth with an equal right to live free from violence. Men would like to know that the daughters, sisters, friends, mothers, co-workers and other women in their lives are safe but may not know how to help create that safety.

Fathers & Brothers Care helps males develop the skills to listen effectively to and respect the experiences of females, thereby developing the capacity for empathy, giving, and nurturing in a way that recognizes the innate strength and power of the females in their lives, rather than limiting their freedom or offering them protection. The activities in this program allow males to recognize their own qualities and attributes, as well as the strengths of females. By relating more humanely with females men become agents in preventing acts of violence. Males are also offered an opportunity to explore and understand how they participate in and benefit from patriarchy, which is the environment conducive to violence against females.
The program involves a series of playful three-hour sessions replete with games, collaborative projects, performances, arts and crafts. It is a time for fathers and daughters, or brothers and sisters to share fun, thought provoking activities, and deepen relationships and strengthen communication skill so difficult issues can be discussed in a loving and respectful way. It is an opportunity for the gals to be heard and develop leadership skills; and for the guys to express themselves effectively and support each other. Fathers and brothers learn to encourage leadership qualities in their daughters and sisters and become educated about gender issues in order to build safer communities for all women and girls.
All the activities incorporate and is based on the core values of Because We Have Daughters:
Core Values:
Listening.
Equitable and shared decision-making.
Awareness of space.
Assertiveness.
Appreciation for non-traditional qualities.
Discussing difficult issues without judgment.
Awareness and understanding of societal pressures girls and women face.
The Fathers & Brothers Care program is based on the Because We Have Daughters program developed by Men Stopping Violence.
