MAN as Allies

The Men’s Anti-violence Network focuses on decreasing men’s violence against women. Men’s violence against women is prevalent across college campuses and the community. We advocate decreasing such violence by educating men to become allies with women. An ally can be defined as a person that is a member of the dominant group, who works to end oppression for the oppressed population. MAN believes that any attempt to change the larger culture of violence against women should also focus on men’s willingness to become allies and intervene on a direct or indirect level in situations that could lead to violence against women. There are different ways men can become allies such as raising awareness of male privilege, raising awareness of the adverse effects of masculinity on women’s safety, as well as teaching practical interventions skills.
