Men fight to stop sex crimes
Supporters will wear white
ribbons in an effort to raise
awareness about how men
can prevent sexual violence

Many men on campus are joining
the fight to stop sexual assault and sex
ual violence, and one of the largest
forces behind this movement is the
University Men's Center.
Counseling Center Psychologist Ion
Davies, who helped found the Men's
Center, said that men perpetrate more
than 90 percent of sexual assaults.
"Men need to step up and take re
sponsibility and help reduce the num
ber of occurrences." Davies said. "When
we don't speak up and speak out
against (sexual assault and sexual vio
lence), we let (the male abusers) speak
for us. Those are the actions that speak
the loudest."
Many men are going to be showing
their support for ending sexual vio
lence by participating in the White
. Ribbon Campaign.
Wearing white ribbons is part of the
Men's Center's goal of becoming more
visible on campus, the center's director,
Dave Miller, said, adding that the group
has only been around for two years.
Davies said the idea for the group
came out of several informal meetings
between members of different campus
organizations to discuss concerns of
men's physical and mental health.
Davies said while more than 90 per
cent of conduct problems reported to
the University are caused by men, the
majority of people discussing problems
with the University Counseling and
Testing Center are female.
The group decided to conduct a
survey with male students addressing
their health concerns, barriers to

health care and advice to improve ac
cessibility for men. Davies said the
group learned that men have many
health concerns — including stress
management, body image, depres
sion and suicide — but they don't
usually seek help for their problems.
Davies attributes the problem to "the
way they were socialized" and the idea
that men should be independent. 1 le
