The Men's Group

The Men's Group is a group dedicated to cultivating men as allies in sexual violence prevention.We feel we can no longer view sexual violence as solely a women's issue. Sexual violence affects everyone, including men directly and indirectly.We hope to gather men that want to make a difference and will stand as a majority against the few that are committing these horrible crimes.

We operate this program with the understanding that the majority of sex crimes are committed by men. However, we also understand that it is a small number of men who are committing a large number of these crimes. The Men’s Group is here to show our community that sexual violence is unacceptable. Men have been silent about sexual violence for too long, and silence can be interpreted as complicity.

We believe that sexual violence affects all of us, so we are taking a stand for our whole community, for our friends, sisters, brothers, mothers, neighbors, partners, and girlfriends, and we are taking a stand for ourselves. The only way sexual violence will stop is when we come together and stop it together, and that means we need to stop doing nothing and start doing something by taking a stand. We hope that you will join us.
