About Men Can Stop Rape
Men Can Stop Rape (MCSR) is widely viewed as the national leader for
engaging young men in gender violence prevention. The organization has
reached hundreds of thousands of youth and trained thousands of
professionals from diverse organizations and agencies, including rape
crisis centers, Boys and Girls Clubs, state health departments, the
Department of Justice, the Violence Against Women Office, state
coalitions against sexual assault, and educational institutions. MCSR
successfully mobilizes male youth to prevent men's violence against
women, inspiring them to create their own positive definitions of
masculinity, manhood, and strength; to develop healthy relationships
with others; to embrace the concept of personal responsibility; to work
in partnership with female peers; and to do their part to end violence
and build safe communities.
 
MCSR's groundbreaking efforts have earned numerous accolades. In 2003,
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) selected MCSR
as one of only four partner organizations nationwide for collaboration
on a two-year project to identify best practices for primary sexual
assault prevention. That same year, Gloria Steinem, Yoko Ono, and the
Ms. Foundation for Women presented MCSR with a Gloria Award for being a
"pioneer ahead of its time" in the fight for gender equity. In May 2007,
Men Can Stop Rape was one of three international organizations to
receive a Changemakers Award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
