Hombres Unidos: Engaging Latino Migrant Men in Sexual and Intimate Partner Violence Prevention

Hombres Unidos is a peer-led workshop focused on the primary prevention of sexual and intimate partner violence (s/ipv) with Latino migrant men.  Developed in 2005 with the support from the Centers for Disease and Control, this five session workshop is implemented using a popular education technique (Paulo Freire) which is a concept that incorporates notions of class, political struggle and social transformation.  

This webinar focuses on the collaborative development of a primary prevention workshop for Latino migrant men, the evaluation of the workshop, and the continuing effort on engaging Latino migrant men as allies with women in s/ipv prevention after the five session workshop.

After this webinar, participants will be able to identify:

• methods on how to begin a conversation on sexual and intimate partner violence with Latino migrant men
• process and outcome evaluation techniques on a primary prevention workshop developed for a specific population
• efforts to continue to engage Latino migrant men in sexual and intimate partner violence prevention
• how to incorporate existing efforts with your population
