This debate interests [the author] because as men enter the terrain of work to eliminate violence against women, women's roles, voices and experiences change. In this paper [the author argues] that it is important to examine men's roles in violence prevention work from a gender perspective. [The author illustrates] such gender analysis using the Violence Prevention Gender Audit Tool (VPGAT) (Castellino, 2011). The VPGAT provides a way of reviewing and analysing men's roles in anti-violence work and the impact their involvement has on the experiences of women's anti-violence workers. This process brings to light the ways in which men engage in the prevention of violence against women, how such engagement is named and understood, and what discursive practices are used to formulate the various discourses."
