Women are the Victims
Men are the Solution
Men's Violence Prevention holds a promise that is both crucial and largely unfulfilled in our society. When we re-cast men as the solution to the problem of interpersonal violence rather than merely viewing them as perpetrators, we create unprecedented opportunities for action and change. Most men are repulsed by violence against women. As natural allies with women, they can break the cycle of male violence. Our task is to create ways to touch their innate benevolence and inspire them to stop rape and abuse. We must never lose sight of men's futures as teachers, coaches, jurors and, most importantly, fathers who will mentor their sons in life-affirming ways.
