Men’s Engagement and Advocacy
It takes all of us, working together to change the statistics, to inspire healthier behaviors and end generations of abuse. New Hope continues our momentum by challenging new voices to join in our conversation, especially the voices of men.
Men’s engagement changes the conversation, giving strength to male survivors who have long felt shame in coming forward. It also opens the door to new standards of behavior in society, breaking down the traditional male gender role stereotypes and changing the definition of what it means to “be a man.”
