So what is MAV?
Men Against
Violence at PLU is a program focused on creating an equitable campus
and community free of violence. As part of that mission, we focus on
promoting
relationships based on equality and respect rather than power and
control, encouraging positive,
healthy expressions of masculinity, and being visible outspoken allies
for all who experience prejudice and discrimination on our campus and
in our community. To learn more please see the What is MAV? page.
What is M.A.P.P.E.?
Men As Partners in Promoting Equality is a group of students affiliated with the Men Against Violence program. In addition to fun events and fundraisers, we meet weekly to discuss what it means to be a man, how to be an ally in struggles for equality, and how to make PLU a safer place for everyone.
Meetings each Friday at 4pm in the Women's Center living room. Contact Matt Dreiling at mav@plu.edu

I'm a good guy, why should I get involved?
This is a
common question, and a very good one. Why would someone want to devote their limited time to an issue that doesn't seem to be something men
have to deal with?
The answer starts with the women we love. Did
you know that based on the number of sexual assaults that are reported, 1 in 4 women will be assaulted in
their lifetime. Now consider that perhaps half of all assaults are reported.Think about the women in your life... you know and love
women who have been victimized by other men. Sisters, mothers, friends, partners, future children...
Make you angry too? Here are some things you can do.
For more, see the FAQ page or contact Jonathan Grove
Has one of your friends been assaulted? Please contact the advocate at the Women's Center, Jennifer Warwick at ext. 6303 for more information on how to help. Also see Supporting survivors under Being an Ally on the Resources page.
