Men Ending Rape
Keith Edwards
Monday, 06 Oct 2008 at 7:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
Keith Edwards uses dialogue, activities, and a multi-media presentation to encourage college men and women to become involved in changing a culture on campus that encourages or condones rape. Men are described as the perpetrators in 99% of single-victim rapes, yet most rape prevention efforts focus on what women can do. This presentation identifies for men what they have to gain from ending campus rape. Keith Edwards is director of campus life at Macalester College, and founder and director of Men Ending Rape, an organization committed to ending rape by encouraging men to play a significant role in ending the perpetuation of a campus rape culture.Cosponsored By:
