MyStrength Campaign shared a link via California Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
July 22
Our work as a coalition is rooted in survivor centeredness but, all too often, the dialogue shifts and victims are blamed and shamed, while the accused are not held responsible.

This poignant article causes us to pause and evaluate our culture that allows for violence to persist, as some empathize with the reputations of predators. "Let's rearrange our empathy."

MyStrength Campaign shared California Coalition Against Sexual Assault's status.
January 22
"To make our campuses safer, change still needs to come from many quarters: schools must adopt better policies and practices to prevent these crimes and to more effectively respond when they happen. And federal agencies must ensure that schools are living up to their obligations. To accomplish these and other goals, the President today is establishing a White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault."

New White House report on a renewed call to action to end rape and sexual assault is released today http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/sexual_assault_report_1-21-14.pdf

MyStrength Campaign shared A CALL TO MEN's photo.
December 18, 2013
Gender violence cannot be eradicated without changing attitudes, especially those of men and boys. Increasingly, the movement to prevent and end gender violence is working to foster communities of male allies who recognize and reject this ...violence in all of its forms. Engaging men (and boys) with these issues on a large scale will immensely strengthen our movement.

"Bystanders No More" will bring together influential activists and thought leaders who will discuss why men and boys should have a stake in the movement to end gender violence and what they can do to become leaders.

Featured panelists include:

Ted Bunch, co-founder, A CALL TO MEN
Casey Gwinn, President of the National Family Justice Center Alliance
Byron Hurt, Director/Producer, "Beyond Beats & Rhymes" - It's: Hazing: How Badly Do You Want In?
Angelo Rivera, Director of Sanctuary's Economic Empowerment Programs
Moderated by Pat Mitchell, President and CEO, The Paley Media Center.
