For Men

An Opportunity for Alaskan Men

Alaskan men have expressed interest in getting more involved in making our communities safer, in preventing sexual violence and in promoting respectful relationships. ANDVSA, through funding from the Alaska Department of Safety, Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, is offering small grants for projects bringing together partnerships of men and community-based organizations working on these issues.

As men, there are special ways to be partners and allies in ending violence in our communities and promoting respectful relationships. Visit www.AlaskaMenChooseRespect.org

Here are a few other things to consider:

• Build relationships based on respect and equality.
• Have the strength to ask for help.
• Be a respectful role model to younger men.
• Share decision-making.
• Bring together male allies in your community to develop community-based solutions.
• Respect diversity and the rights of those around you.
• Contact schools, domestic violence and sexual assault programs, community groups or others to find out how to work together to end relationship violence.

• Advocate for federal, state, local, and organizational policy change supporting equality and accountability.
