COLLEGE MEN STOPPING RAPE


A FULL-DAY TRAINING
FOR MALE STUDENT ACTIVISTS AND THEIR ALLIES
PRESENTED BY
MEN CAN STOP RAPE, WASHINGTON DC

 

HARVARD UNIVERSITY

APRIL 17, 2004

9 AM -4 PM

FREE ADMISSION

 

Men Can Stop Rape empowers male youth and the institutions that serve them to work as allies with women in preventing rape and other forms of men's violence. Through awareness-to-action education and community organizing, they promote gender equity and build men's capacity to be strong without being violent.  MCSR is an outgrowth of D.C. Men Against Rape, a volunteer profeminist collective founded in 1987 by a handful of men seeking to raise their own and the community's consciousness about men's violence against women. In 1997, MCSR incorporated as a nonprofit organization with the goal of carrying forward and expanding on its original mission to increase men's involvement in efforts to end men's violence.

 

The objectives of the training are:

1. To present a critical analysis of the context in which sexual assault happens.
2. To explore the challenges of engaging men in anti-rape efforts.
3. To provide strategies for male student activists to combat sexual assault on campus.
4. To create regional networks of male student activists throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The day will be divided in four sessions:

Session 1: What are we talking about when we talk about manhood? 
BREAK
Session 2: Examining Rape Culture
LUNCH
Session 3: Is another manhood possible? 
BREAK
Session 4: Tying and Untying

 
Everybody is welcome! Full day attendance is strongly encouraged, but not essential.

 
The training will be free of charge, but registration by April 12 is required REGISTER NOW!

 
Lunch and continental breakfast will be provided.
