Public Awareness and Outreach Posters

In order to better reach out to men who batterer and the community, the Non-Violence Alliance has developed a line of public awareness posters. Building upon our research on batterers as fathers, these posters are designed to encourage men to stop their abusive behavior by asking them to consider the impact of their actions have on their children. We also hope that these posters will raise awareness in the community of the link between how men behave towards their partner and outcomes for children.

There are three posters currently available in English and Spanish and all posters are 11" x 17" and professionally printed. When fifty or more of any posters are ordered, they can be customized to include your agency's name, contact number or other specific information and are available for $6.00 per poster.

What is your son reaching for? Give him a strong foundation for his future by treating his mother with respect.

Many of the men (approximately 75%) in our study were worried that their boys would grow up to be abusers. This poster sends a message about the connection between respect for a partner and outcomes for sons.

¿Qué es lo que tu hijo desea? Brindale una base firma para su futuro tratando a su madre con respeto.

If you drink and get violent, you have two problems.

Drinking doesn't cause violence. Plenty of people who drink are never violent. If you drink and become abusive with someone you love, seek help for your violence and for your drinking.

Si usted bebe y se comporta violentamente, tiene dos problemas.

What does your child feel when you abuse her mother? Scared, Sad, Confused?

72% (n=667) of the men in our national study believed that their children felt scared, sad or confused when they see or hear him being physically violent.

¿Cómo crees que se siente tu niña…Asustada, Triste, Confundida...cuando abusas de su madre?

You love your daughter. You want to give her the world. Start by treating her mother with respect.

51% (n=472) of the men in our national study felt their violence and abuse towards their partner negatively affected their feelings about themselves as fathers somewhat or a lot.

Amas a tu hija. Quisieras ofrecerle el mundo. Comienza por ser un padre que trata a su madre con respeto.

She's not your property. She's a person. Respect her.

While we need to reach out to batterers in their roles as fathers, we still need to remain committed to ending violence regardless of the presence of or impact on children in the home.

No es de tu propiedad. Ella es una persona. Respétala.

 

Research Behind the Posters

"A National Study Of Batterers’ Perceptions Of Their Children’s Exposure to the Violence and Abuse," a study by David Mandel, was developed in order to gather empirical data about an area that only had been previously studied anecdotally: batterers’ perceptions of their children’s exposure to their violence and abuse.
