Most men at Willamette don't commit rape...

...but every man can play a vital role in ending sexual & dating violence

Consent is more than the word “yes”
Good sex is all about mutual pleasure and enthusiasm. Better communication—listening to your partner, stating desires clearly, and asking when a situation is unclear—makes sex and relationships safer, healthier, and more enjoyable for everyone.
Look beyond the legal definition of rape
While the legal definition clarifies rape in a court of law, it does not address sexual violence, which can be physical (grabbing, non-consensual touching), emotional (manipulation, deceit, denigration), and verbal (verbal pressure, coercion).
If you believe that someone close to you is being abused or has been sexually assaulted, gently ask if you can help
The most important thing you can tell a survivor is that you believe them and that the abuse is not their fault.
Confront friends, classmates, brothers, and teammates who are disrespectful or abusive towards girls and women
You probably will never see a rape in progress, but you will hear attitudes and see behaviors that degrade women and promote a culture of violence. Try talking with the person about it. If you don't know what to do, consult a friend, a parent, a professor, or a counselor. Speak up!
