The Man Up Campaign and its
Global Movement
Announced at the Clinton Global Initiative in September 2009 in collaboration with Vital Voices Global Partnership, Man Up is a global campaign to activate youth to stop violence against women and girls.
Our call to action challenges each of us to “man up” and declare that violence against women and girls must end.
The Man Up Campaign movement has continued
By convening our youth delegates in summits and conferences, and in forming chapters. These youth champions are engaging their peers to bring gender equality and inclusiveness to their own communities.
In order to break the cycle of trauma unabated violence against women and girls bestows on individuals, families, communities, and societies, Man Up Campaign was created to give young people a voice in developing models of change that truly address this issue.
Primary ways we connect with other people
These are also ways we experience life, transmit and share culture. More importantly, messages about gender, societal expectations, and our identities are passed down to us in these and other forms.
The Man Up Campaign is partnering with young men and women around the world by providing training, resources, and support to youth-informed initiatives.
Youth & Gender Leadership Summits
Since our Inaugural Man Up Campaign Summit at the World Cup 2010 Man Up Campaign we have been activating and inspiring youth leaders and supporting them and encouraging them in their further education on gender and innovating tools to engage their concern and passion.
They gather to launch their grassroots projects they take the next step in their community by building equity, inclusion, and opportunity as the foundation to address the causes of gender-based violence which and lay a foundation to end gender-based. We are proud of their impact reaching hundreds of thousands through their projects to end gender-based violence. We look forward to partnering with you to create regional and national summits.

The Journey
What we stand for
Ending Gender Based Violence
Domestic/Family Abuse and Violence is a devastating failure in the structure of our society that can no longer be ignored. Man Up Campaign calls for global action to address the horrible consequences of the Shadow Pandemic and to End Domestic / Family Violence once and for all.
Ending Domestic Violence
Man Up Campaign is a leading Organization in Ending Gender- Based Violence, our actions are directed towards the empowerment of individuals to take on gender equality and the SDGs as a life journey, owning their responsibility in the eradication of all types of violence along with the implementation of peace culture education.
Global Climate Action
Climate change is undeniable and we must take immediate action to shift our path as a global society. We believe that change is possible through redefining our relationship with Earth by educating and encouraging innovation to foster climate action and make change happen now.
