About Us Stand Up Guys is about raising awareness and engaging "well intentioned" and "well meaning men" and women in the process of standing up and speaking out about men's violence against women and girls. It is our belief that while the vast majority of men are well intentioned and non-violent, the majority of perpetrators of sexual assault, domestic violence and child molestation are in fact men. For too long the effort to stop this abuse has been primarily led by women. It is time for men to understand that this is not a "women's issue", but it is equally a man's issue and, most clearly, a community issue. The time is now for men to begin to take an active part in Standing Up and Speaking Out, so that we can together, break the male silence that quietly and subtly colludes with male offenders, the �bad guys�. Stand Up Guys need to send the message that it is NOT ACCEPTABLE to abuse, rape, hit, assault, objectify, stalk, harass and/or control women. The silence of men can be interpreted as permission and we have to do something to stop that!

The members of Men For Change are dedicated towards promoting positive masculinity and ending sexism and violence.

About Us January 16th, 2008 We are a group of men working in the UCSB community to end sexual violence. Our approach focuses on the role men have to play to bring about real change in society. That is, men are the ones who are doing 99.9% of the raping, and it is high time that men start accepting responsibility for rape. We do not hate men, and we do not think that all men rape. In fact, most men do not. But the ones who do make us all look bad, and what’s worse, “normal” male behavior hides rapists.

Men Against Violence Against Women began in 2000 as a small group of individuals, both male and female, whose mission was to affect social change in the community by making men aware of the prevalence of violence against women. The concept was to develop creative and targeted marketing, education and communication tools to deliver the message that the issue was indeed a man's issue as much as a woman's, since the majority of all violent crimes against women are perpetrated by men.

Boys need role models; they need mentors, teachers and coaches to give them guidance that will help them grow into healthy young men. They need to know that, in the long run, who they are in society is more important than who they are as a player.
