Our Mission, Vision, and Values
Men Can Stop Rape (formerly Mens Rape
Prevention Project) empowers male youth and the institutions that serve them
to work as allies with women in preventing rape and other forms of mens
violence. Through awareness-to-action education and community organizing, we
promote gender equity and build mens capacity to be strong without being
violent.
MCSR is an outgrowth of D.C. Men Against Rape,
a volunteer profeminist collective founded in 1987 by a handful of men
seeking to raise their own and the communitys consciousness about mens
violence against women. In 1997, MCSR incorporated as a nonprofit
organization with the goal of carrying forward and expanding on its original
mission to increase mens involvement in efforts to end mens violence.
Now, we are a concerned community of men and
women of all ages, from many walks of life, working locally and nationally
for peace, equity and gender justice. We are men and women who find strength
in compassion and nonviolence and who strive to support young men who are
courageous enough to challenge the "rape culture" in which we live.
We do not believe mens violence is inevitable.
We believe that rape, battering, and other forms of mens violence are
learned behaviors, choices that men make to exert power and control over
others that are reinforced by a society that defines manhood through
domination.
We believe that men can unlearn these damaging
lessons and live peacefully with women and other men. To do so, however, we
must redefine what it means to be a man.
