The Building Partnerships Initiative to End Men's Violence (BPI) is a collaborative project of the Family Violence Prevention Fund, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network, the Institute on Domestic Violence in the African American Community, the Institute on Domestic Violence in the Asian & Pacific Islander Community, Minnesota Center Against Violence and Abuse, Men Can Stop Rape, National Latino Alliance for the Elimination of Domestic Violence, the National Network to End Domestic Violence, National Sexual Violence Resource Center, and Prevention Institute.

This initiative is funded by the Office on Violence Against Women within the US Department of Justice.

The aim of this initiative is to inspire more men to take a stand against men’s violence and to play an active role in promoting healthy, vibrant relationships. To achieve this, we will promote stronger partnerships among those currently working to end violence and those individuals and organizations with potential for a more active role in prevention work.
