You can tell young women how to reduce their risk of being assaulted. And you can tell young men that real men don’t rape. But student sexual assault persists on campus. What more can you do?Bystander intervention training for both women and men brings changes in attitudes, behaviors and sexual assault levels on campus. Dr. John D. Foubert, associate professor of college student development at

Over the weekend I met yet another woman who has been assaulted; she was only 21 years old at the time. She was assaulted by a 30 year old guy from last year's Burning Man. For 6 months, she was in inner agony, she cried every day, and understandably, she shut herself off from any intimacy with men. That assault can happen at something ostensibly as cool and hip as Burning Man, that speaks to how

I was walking down the street in downtown Washington, D.C., chugging on a bottle of Perrier. A bike messenger leaning up against a tree says, "Can I have some . . ." with a wink and a leer. I say, "Sure" and splash the Perrier in his face. Two African-American men walking toward me see this and, laughing, say, "Way to go, sister!" I start laughing and so does the bike messenger. We all laughed be

How many times have you been at a party or with a small group of friends and witnessed something that made you feel uneasy? Maybe it was a man pressuring a woman to leave with him. Perhaps it was a sexist joke or comment. Or maybe you saw a friend slap his date. What would you do?You might be thinking, "That's none of my business." You may feel like to say something would mean "sticking your nose

As noted in Boulder's Daily Camera and in the US Catholic there is a noted increase of domestic violence during recessions. It is important to remember that Domestic Violence includes sexual assault. Sexual assault is sexual assault even if it is by a partner/spouse. If a person does not consent it is sexual assault.Some great articles to check out about Parter/Spousal Sexual assaultSpousal

Teach Early. It’s never too soon to talk to a child about violence. Let him know how you think he should express his anger and frustration – and what is out of bounds. Talk with him about what it means to be fair, share and treat others with respect.Be there. If it comes down to one thing you can do, this is it. Just being with boys is crucial. The time doesn’t have to be spent in activities.

(Ian Sample, Chicago guardian.co.uk, Monday 16 February 2009 13.42 GMT)Men are more likely to think of women as objects if they have looked at sexy pictures of females beforehand, psychologists said yesterday.Researchers used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners

During our struggle to end sexual violence, often due to time, staffing, and monetary constraints, many of us as advocates have been forced for too long to fail to adequately include the portion of our population that is most often responsible for sexual misconduct. We need desperately to begin collectively and in a comprehensive and strategically manner to act on the knowledge that we live in a

The National Hockey League responded very quickly following player Sean Avery's comments about his former girlfriend. Avery went on tape during an interview and said "I am really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada.

According to an article in the Boulder Camera today:"Robert Whipkey, 53, was serving at parishes in Erie, Mead and Frederick when he was arrested and placed on leave.
