Men Againt Violence,
“Men Stopping Violence is a unique
organization fearlessly tackling a
subject that’s long been taboo. Violence
against women should be a thing of the
past. We all need to recognize that the
decisions we make every day and the
words we use have the power to shape
part of the way women are viewed
and treated by society at large. That
doesn’t just apply to gender, of course.
Everyone has the power to be an agent
of change and has a responsibility to
talk about serious, sensitive issues
and set examples by the lives we lead.
Advocating for ending violence is in the
best interest of nonviolent men because
it will improve our own lives and the
lives of everyone around us, including
the ones we love and want to see lead
safe and healthy lives”. – George
McKerrow
