"Rape and sexual and domestic abuse are typically viewed and cast aside as “women's issues” regardless of the fact that a majority of the perpetrators of sexual violence are men.
We seek to shift the light on this issue from one of victim-blaming and complete focus on the victims and survivors to a focus on men's responsibility to educate other men. Why are men overwhelmingly the perpetrators of rape? What causes a man to rape? How can we combat the social constructs that can lead a man to rape?
We also acknowledge that rape is not something unique to heterosexual relationships but is also a problem in the GLBTQ community.
Men Against Rape's goal is to educate, and to provide positive role models and alternative forms of masculinity to our peers. By educating we can help our peers understand what constitutes rape, how to stop it, and how to avoid becoming a rapist."
