MAAV Hosts “Men as Allies: Tools for Supporting Victims of Sexual Violence” on April 11
Thursday, April 11, 7:00-9:00 pm
Melrose Unitarian Universalist Church, 70 West Emerson Street
Do you have a … mother, sister, wife, girlfriend, daughter, grandmother, friend, niece, colleague or another woman in your life that you care about?
Did you know…1 out of 4 women will experience abuse in her intimate relationship…1 out of 6 women will be the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime…victims of abuse are most likely to tell someone they trust, not the police or a professional counselor?
What can you do? Come hear directly from a survivor of sexual assault, and learn from the experts at MAAV and the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center about how men can be a positive and powerful force for good – both in reducing sexual assault and helping survivors heal in the aftermath.
This workshop is appropriate for teens and adults, and all genders are welcome. It is free of charge and no registration is required.

Sponsored by Men4MAAV, Safe Steps for Melrose, the Melrose Unitarian Universalist Church, and MORE.
