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

[Kathy Platt <>]

Some of our best advocates are men-we have had 4 male advocates at one time 
and research shows that for 95% of the females who experience rape, they tell 
a male first. Perhaps if you look at some of this research it may help you

Subject: RE: Question about Response Staff

I want to clarify my question; I want to know any schools have a male staff 
as the main provider of crisis intervention and response.

We are in the process of hiring a replacement for my position, and we have a 
male candidate. The coordinator at Emory is responsible for both prevention 
education and response, and some of the folks here have some concerns about 
hiring a male to serve as the main response contact. Particularly, they are 
concerned that female survivors will not feel comfortable with a male 
advocate. 

I want to do some benchmarking in order to provide some information and 
reassurance to the search committee.

Thank you!
Aline
