EVERY MAN

Why Violence Against Women is a Men’s Issue, and How You Can Make a Difference




The paradigm-shifting book about men's violence against women, how it affects us all, and how men are the only ones that can stop it

Why have we failed so badly to end men’s violence against women?
What can we actually do about it?

This insightful, provocative and practical handbook suggests a bold solution. Expert scholar and activist, Jackson Katz has spent the last 30 years educating people around the world on male violence against women and advocates that to make society safer, we need more men to care and to stand up for women.

In this galvanizing book, Jackson reveals indispensable everyday tools that will help men from all walks of life become part of the solution to gender-based violence. Find out how to respond when a friend or colleague makes a misogynistic comment; learn how to intervene in incidents that may seem small but can lead to violence; and discover how you can become a role model for boys and men who need positive leadership in their lives.

This is the essential reading for every man who wants to make society safe for us all.

Praise for EVERY MAN

Unflinchingly honest, Every Man equips men with the tools to become true allies. Katz doesn't offer empty promises or performative gestures; instead, he lays out the concrete actions every man can take to help dismantle gender violence. This is the handbook our culture so desperately needs

Jameela Jamil

A must-read for men who want to learn more about what they can do to end violence against women

Professor Nicole Westmarland, Durham University Centre for Research into Violence and Abuse

True ally-ship can be hard to come by in this area and harder still to define, but Katz has laid out a blueprint for what men can do and is leading by example. An important book at a critical time

Emma-Louise Boynton

The violence that some men commit against women and girls is an issue for all men: it harms the women and girls we love, gives all men a bad name, and hurts our communities. Jackson Katz invites every man to have the courage to speak up and challenge this abuse. Katz is an outstanding educator and thought leader, and this book provides essential tools, language, and action for making change

Professor Michael Flood, author of Engaging Men and Boys in Violence Prevention

Bold but deeply rooted in compassion, Katz's writing offers us a roadmap too compelling to ignore. This is the kind of wisdom you feel inspired to study over and over again

Gina Martin

In this timely and urgent book, Jackson Katz calls on men to confront the uncomfortable truths about male violence. He offers a practical and transformative blueprint for those who want to play a crucial role in promoting safe, healthy relationships. Katz's efforts have a movement not only in North America but globally. I urge all men-especially those who love the women in their lives-to read this book and reflect on the critical role they can play in breaking the cycle of violence
