Engaging Men and Boys
Pledge for Accountability Against Gender-Based Violence
Lt. Governor Signs Accountability Pledge

The New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado launch the Pledge for Accountability Against Gender-Based Violence! As a part of our year-long campaign, Start the Conversation: Engaging Men & Boys, this Pledge encourages men and boys to become better allies, recognize that many of the behaviors that contribute to gender-based violence are associated with negative masculine stereotypes, and speak up against gender-based violence in their lives. Read more about the Pledge and campaign here. We are encouraging New Yorkers to take this Pledge and to share it with the men and boys in their life:
