Abstract
This comprehensive online resource series brings together Tearfund's extensive collection of materials on positive masculinity, gender equality and the prevention of sexual and gender-based violence. The collection includes facilitator manuals, Bible studies, implementation guides, research reports, monitoring tools and practical resources developed through years of work alongside churches and faith-based organisations in diverse cultural settings. It provides both introductory materials and more advanced resources for organisations wishing to deepen their understanding and practice.
One of the collection's greatest strengths is its holistic approach. Rather than addressing violence in isolation, it explores the interconnected roles of faith, family, culture and community in shaping attitudes towards gender. The resources encourage churches to become places where equality, respect and compassion are actively modelled and where men and boys are supported to develop healthier, life-giving expressions of masculinity. It is an excellent starting point for organisations seeking evidence-based resources that combine theology with practical action.
