The theme of the 2019 Prevention Summit is: “Communities First: Centering Those Most Marginalized.” Click here for details and to register.
JDI’s #ReimagineManhood Symposium
Every December JDI gathers people working to engage men and boys in preventing gender-based violence. High school and college students join with advocates, educators, community service providers and more to deepen our understanding of what it takes to undo negative notions of masculinity and transform gendered power norms.

JDI’s Massachusetts White Ribbon Day Campaign
Starting in 2007, JDI has spearheaded a statewide campaign to engage men and boys to become part of the solution in ending violence against women and all forms of gender-based violence. To date thousands of men and boys and hundreds of groups, companies and municipalities have participated in the White Ribbon Day (WRD) Campaign.
The statewide kickoff is typically held the first week of March. Check back in January for details. Meanwhile, take a peak at past events and learn more about the campaign.

JDI’s events are open to the public. The registration fees for the summits and other activities do not fully cover the costs of our training programs. Your donation will allow us to offer scholarships to those who cannot afford to attend and to expand our reach.
