Through a theoretical discussion, the article focuses on the role of men in preventing gender-based violence, examining socio-educational and cultural strategies that promote responsibility and encourage men to break free from hegemonic and patriarchal models of masculinity. The article distinguishes between prevention efforts aimed at men and those promoted by men, drawing on comparative European evidence and with a particular focus on the Italian welfare system. The paper highlights how involving men as both recipients and promoters of prevention policies can promote structural and cultural changes that are consistent with an integrated welfare approach to tackling gender-based violence.
