Rationale: Domestic violence including sexual assault continues to occur at alarming rates to people of all genders, identities and sexual orientations. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of some form of physical violence by an intimate partner.  While most men are not violent, over 90% of sexual assaults and most acts of domestic violence that result in serious injuries, are committed by men.  To significantly reduce domestic violence it is crucial that boys and men become more involved.

Objectives: (a) increase awareness of domestic violence, (b) learn what our community needs from males to reduce domestic violence, (c) speak out/mentor others, (d) learn bystander intervention strategies, & (e) make a commitment
