One Act

“Every male student at UNC knows women who are survivors of men’s violence. They are our classmates, friends, partners, mothers and sisters. What affects them affects us. But too often we think of men’s violence against women as a “women’s issue.” According to Dr. Jackson Katz, an expert in violence prevention, by leaving it at that we ignore the fact that the perpetuation of violence against women is driven almost exclusively by men. By remaining silent on the issue, we inevitably take the side of perpetrators of violence, who only ask that we do nothing. But by acknowledging men’s role in violence against women, we are able as empowered bystanders to confront those who hurt women and to change the culture that produces them.”
