Excerpt from my forthcoming
book:
Men Who Stop Rape
There
are three fundamental tenets that underlie this book and successful
programs that address male violence:
1).The first unmasks a pernicious myth, namely that
men do not want to change their beliefs towards violence against women
(Foubert, J.D. and Marriott, K.A. 1997). Hundreds of workshops
and training sessions with thousands of men have convinced me that
finding men to mentor is not our principal challenge. Rather it is how
to touch their inner beings, innate benevolence and life experiences,
in order to provide them with the desire to help prevent sexual
assault. Many men have girlfriends, sisters and friends who are
survivors of sexual assault. Still other men have mothers, daughters
and female acquaintances that have been physically or psychologically
brutalized in ways other than rape. Talk with men at length and
eventually you will discover an incident of sexual violence that
permanently changed the life of someone they cared about. Such
experiences have the latent power to change positively men’s beliefs
about interpersonal violence. Sharing one’s own and hearing others’
experiences about the consequences of abuse heightens men’s awareness
and readies them for the opportunity to become allies in violence
prevention. When men understand the underpinning familial and cultural
influences of male violence, they realize their own potential for
preventing it.
