[RAICES] Men Against Rape

[dca03 at hampshire.edu]

Although feminism and the fight for gender equality has been labeled as a 
"women's issue" for past decades, understanding the greater social impact of 
sexual violence has broadened the "issue".  Until we, as men*, take an active 
roll in ending sexual violence, 1/4 women in the US will be raped including our 
mothers, our sisters, and our loved ones.  This Thursday, April 10th at 6:30 
there will be a candle light vigil for men to take a stand.  This vigil will 
address the power and responsibility men have in stopping sexual violence 
against women.  We can be the needed change of tomorrow. 


What: Men Stand in Solidarity: A Candlelight Vigil Against Sexual 
Violence 

When: Thursday April 10th at 6:30 

Where: Library Lawn   

There will be a follow up Men's discussion group Thursday, April 17th, 8:00 at 
the KIVA. 

*Includes self identified men
