Please join Men Can Stop Rape in celebrating the start of 2008's Building Stronger Boroughs Campaign in NYC! The campaign consists of Men Of Strength Training Clubs - the premier primary prevention program for male youth in the country. MOST clubs have provided middle school, high school and college age young men with a structured and supportive space to learn about healthy masculinity and redefine male strength. Each year-long, multi-session Club builds members' ability to translate their learning into community leadership.

The event will be an exploration of the roles that women and men can and do play in the primary prevention of men's violence against women. Held in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities, it will be an important solution focused discussion between leaders in the movement and the NYC community.
