Men In Action 
Through the help of the VAWA grant, Grand Valley State University is working to create a space for men to to explore and discuss the culture of masculinity and manhood, while raising awareness and actively working to create environments free from violence. The vision of the Grand Valley State University's Men In Action group is to have an environment where men serve as empowered bystanders and active partners in preventing male violence and shifting the continuum of masculinity and manhood.  The goal of Men In Action ls to educate men on equity and social responsibility and challenge masculine norms that perpetuate violence and sexual assault. We would like to have honest discussion and dialogue regarding men and women, rape and sexual violence, relationships, and how you define your own manhood. Show your care, concern, and willingness to change social norms.

Rock Against Rape

It's On Us
In the summer of 2015, partners all around Grand Valley State University came together to create an awareness campaign composed of student leaders, faculty, and staff. The collaborative efforts from Athletics, GVPD, the Dean of Students, President Haas, the Women's Center, Fraternity/Sorority Life, Club Sports, Residence Life, and many others have made this message loud and clear at GVSU. #ItsOnUsGVSU to be more than a bystander when it comes to sexual and gender based violence.  

Walk a Mile In Her Shoes
Walk a Mile In Her Shoes is an international men's march to increase understanding about rape, sexual assault and gender violence. Founded in 2001, with the idea that men must be a part of the solution to end sexual violence, walks are held around the country each year. Specifically, men are invited to wear high heels and then actually walk a mile in her shoes. This event is not only for men, nor must everyone wear high heels. We invite all faculty, staff, students, and community members to participate in this event.
