"Clean Hotels" Initiative



The Minnesota Men's Action Network: Alliance to Prevent Sexual and Domestic 
Violence has posted the Clean Hotel 
Initiative<http://www.menaspeacemakers.org/programs/mnman/hotels> on their 
website. This initiative is a collaboration between the Men's Action Network 
and the MN Department of Health's Sexual Violence Prevention Program. This 
effort is part of a growing primary prevention plan to curb the degree to 
which sexually violent and degrading material is increasingly more accessible 
and mainstreamed into our social environment.

The Clean Hotel Initiative encourages business, public/private organizations, 
and municipalities to modify their meeting facility policy to clarify that 
meetings and conferences will be held in facilities that do not offer in-room 
adult pay-per-view pornography, and that travel policies be amended to 
reimburse employees' lodging costs only when staying at hotels that do not 
offer in-room adult pay-per-view pornography.

We have created several documents that can assist you in the development of 
policies at your state and local levels of government, as well as private 
businesses, organizations, and agencies.

We imagine a society where every individual can grow to their full potential. 
The social environment can support that growth. We are joining others in 
their historical efforts to create and nurture communities that are safe, 
just, and equitable.
