expert recommendations for practical work with men* affected by violence
Together with colleagues from violence protection and counselling practice, the BFKM has compiled a collection of work aids and checklists for practical work with men* affected by violence.

We are therefore making them available for download in various formats to all existing and developing men's protection centres as well as interested actors.
