>> In Ontario, Canada we are trying to take an approach, called the Good Apples Project ( www.goodapples.ca  , under construction but home page is there). It is based on the Five in Six Project in South Africa and will recognize men who have been nominated by women and children for being non-violent, non-abusive, and supportive men. The goal is to encourage more men to assist in the anti-violence movement.
