Notes: MAVA is India’s first voluntary organization (Estb. 1993) run by sensitive and concerned men working on gender issues, mainly violence against women (which have been largely seen in society as women’s issues.) The first of its kind in India, MAVA considers men as significant players in overcoming gender oppression and inequality in patriachal India. The organization aims at bringing about attitudinal change especially in men, thereby preventing/stopping violence and abuse of women. Based in Mumbai and functioning all over Maharashtra, MAVA provides personalized counseling and guidance to needy men and women facing marital conflict & other gender-based problems, conducts gender-sensitization programs for varied target groups (residential colonies, business establishments and corporates, NGOs, youth bodies, mahila mandals, schools and colleges) esp. boys & young men. For the last 9 years, it has been bringing out an annual magazine in Marathi containing expressions exclusively by men on gender issues. MAVA also organizes workshops on self-defence for girls & women, empowering them with simple techniques against potential attacks by men. MAVA works in collaboration with leading women’s groups in the city including Stree Mukti Sanghatana, Akshara, Sakhya, Sophia’s Centre for Women’s Studies, Dilaasa, Special Cell for women in Distress, Swadhar and the Maharashtra State Women’s Commission. Currently, MAVA is focusing on projects reaching out to boys and young men, enabling them to adopt alternative, positive models of masculinity that promote gender sensitivity and prevent violence and abuse of women. Various youth-friendly and mass non-threatening platform like film festivals, street-plays, study circles, discussion groups & poster exhibitions are being used. MAVA soon plans to start a Counseling, Guidance and Resource Centre at Andheri open to the public.
