Pledge

Take the MAN Pledge!

Do you want to do something positive in the effort to prevent interpersonal violence? You can start by taking the MAN Pledge!

When you take the MAN Pledge, you tell the world that you respect others and are committed to building healthy relationships. You demonstrate to friends, neighbors and family that being strong does not have to include interpersonal violence as a way to resolve conflicts. You show those around you that you are willing to intervene to prevent a violent situation. And you signal to victims that they can count on you for support.

Are you willing to publicly take a stand against interpersonal violence? Then take the MAN Pledge today.

Our goal is to get 1000 Utah men to sign the pledge. Join us today. And encourage your friends to do the same.

The MAN Pledge

I recognize as a man that…

Healthy relationships are based on
respect for others, and conflict can
be managed effectively without ever
resorting to violence.
Interpersonal violence in all forms is unacceptable, and those who commit violence
should face consequences for their choices.
Both women and men are victims and survivors of interpersonal violence.
United with women, men can reduce and eventually eliminate violence against
women and men.
I am a better man when I place respect and compassion foremost in my relationships
with others.
I can make a positive difference in the lives of family, friends, and others through
my words and actions.

So…

I promise to never commit, condone, or remain silent about domestic violence, sexual assault,
child abuse or other forms of violence against women, men and children.

I will encourage men and mentor boys to live violence-free, and I will work together with other
men and women to end all interpersonal violence.
