Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Ben Atherton-Zeman - Feminist, Actor and Husband" <>]

Hello, SAPC friends!  I love this discussion about restorative justice - I've 
been suspicious of these efforts myself, not just from a SA perspective but 
from a DV perspective as well.  The models I've seen that impress me the most 
come from Native American communities.  

I've published a column in today's paper: 
http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/columnists/view.bg?articleid=137594.  They ;
didn't have room for all of it, so I've attached the original version - for 
those on the "daily digest" mode that want the whole thing, you can email me. 
 

Thanks, all!  

Until the violence stops, Ben.

August 2006 quote: "As men who are part of the solution to end violence 
against women and sexism, our success is dependent on seeking the leadership 
of women and allowing that leadership to guide us.If we do not listen to, 
invest in and believe the voice of women we are once again maintaining the 
imbalance of power and reinforcing our status while we continue to 
marginalize women and their experience. After all, women are the experts on 
our violence and abuse toward them. The dominating group cannot define the 
oppression for those who are oppressed." - Ted Bunch, A Call to Men
