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

[Joe Samalin <>]

Dear NYC community,

Please join Men Can Stop Rape in celebrating the start of 2008's Building
Stronger Boroughs Campaign! The campaign consists of Men Of Strength
Training Clubs - the premier primary prevention program for male youth
in the country. MOST clubs have provided middle school, high school and
college age young men with a structured and supportive space to learn
about healthy masculinity and redefine male strength. Each year-long,
multi-session Club builds members' ability to translate their learning
into community leadership.


The event will be an exploration of the roles that women and men
can and do play in the primary prevention of men's violence against
women. Held in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities,
it will be an important solution focused discussion between leaders in
the movement and the NYC community.
