- Group discussion about the following:
1. What sort of problems give men stress and how do they usually relieve that
stress?
2. How does stress and men 's reactions to stress affect/cause violence against
women?
3. When men have these problems, who do they ask for help – other men or
women?
4. Are laws enough to solve the problem of violence against women?
5. What services are there to help men who want to solve their problems of
stress and anger? There are services for women in crisis, but what about for
men? What do we need?
6. What other strategies can help men solve problems of stress?
Other questions:
1. Are men happy about having a leader who is a woman, or does this contribute to their stress? Do they prefer a male boss or a female boss? Why?
2. Does women's empowerment make men nervous? If so, why?
