Hold men accountable for their actions<br />
Although gender roles and the way men define themselves are socially constructed,<br />
each individual man can choose whether or not <strong>to</strong> act out his male privilege.<br />
Consequently, it is important <strong>to</strong> hold men accountable for their choices and actions,<br />
including any violent acts they may have committed, while at the same time<br />
encouraging them <strong>to</strong> change. <strong>Violence</strong> <strong>against</strong> women and girls is a crime and a<br />
human rights violation. Holding men accountable is fundamental <strong>to</strong> a rights-based,<br />
gender-responsive approach <strong>to</strong> working with men and boys <strong>to</strong> end violence <strong>against</strong><br />
women and girls.<br />
Moni<strong>to</strong>r and evaluate programme effectiveness<br />
Given the relatively incipient nature of interventions that work with men, careful attention<br />
should be paid <strong>to</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>r and evaluate programmes <strong>to</strong> assess a programme‟s results,<br />
determine how <strong>to</strong> improve the intervention, and <strong>to</strong> help build a body of knowledge<br />
regarding better and more cost-effective interventions in preventing violence <strong>against</strong><br />
women and girls. Moni<strong>to</strong>ring and evaluation is also cr<br />
itical <strong>to</strong> ensure that interventions are not causing unintended harm.<br />
See the moni<strong>to</strong>ring and evaluation section for guidance on how <strong>to</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>r and evaluate<br />
programmes with men and boys.<br />
