Engaging Men
Sexual violence affects everyone, regardless of gender. However, it affects some groups more directly than other groups. In Minnesota, men make up about 45% of the fulltime undergraduate student population. If the support and buy-in of 45% of the campus community are not found in the work to prevent sexual violence, how can it be fully prevented?
