WHY MEN SHOULD CARE
"Every time a man's voice joins those of women in speaking out against rape, the world becomes a safer place." Unknown
Men's loved ones, family members, and even friends are raped.
Rape confines men - it is impossible to distinguish men who are safe from the ones who are not. As a result, relationships become guarded and are sometimes approached with fear and mistrust.
Men know survivors - Ignorance about rape can hinder the healing process while a supportive male presence during a survivor's recovery can be invaluable.
Men can stop rape - Rape is a choice some men make to use sex as a weapon of power and control. To stop rape, men who are violent must be empowered to make different choices. All men can play an important role by challenging rape-supporting attitudes and behaviors in the men around them.
