 It is not her fault. No matter what. She is not to blame. No matter what. Abuse is a choice. Choose to hold him accountable. |  Don't Be a Bystander - Bystanders Condone Abusers.Keep up the momentum - subscribe to the WRC newsletter. |  Don't be a "bystander" - BE a "StandByHer"! |
|---|---|---|
 The MOST important thing is that you DO SOMETHING, |  There is simply NO such thing as an acceptable excuse for abuse - Zero Tolerance guys....It Starts with YOU! |  Men and Boys don't have to be mutants with supernatural powers to change the world - Build the School and others will come |
 DURHAM REGION: "only 1100 of 3800 domestic violence calls resulted in criminal charges" - November 2015 |  A CALL TO MEN |  |
 You have the power to change the Canada of future generations today. |  Violence against women is an issue of Men's need for Power and Control and it is a vicious cycle THAT MEN ARE EMPOWERED TO STOP |  Abused Women are re-victimized by individuals (stigma), media (sensationalism), court systems, child protection agencies, mental health institutions, employers, men, and even other women. Educate yourself; then act and be a true leader - say "no more" to re-victimization. |
 Men advocating to end violence against women - see also White Ribbon Campaign |  Can you tell a man is abusive just by looking at him? No? Guess what, SHE COULDN'T EITHER! |  Put a Nail In It Campaign |
 Make a Difference |  Trailer for the film SAC premiered for Durham in 2015. Change, real change in the community, takes cooperation and action = Co-operAction.. Work with us, make a difference for your son, nephew, grandson, student, soccer player. |  Words alone can achieve understanding, words with action can achieve change. Take the Pledge. Vote for change. |
 Be a Part of the Solution, not a part of the problem. |  What form of education are the boys in your life receiving? Boys need good role models to follow. Teach respect, equality, confidence. Then "Walk the Talk" - in HER shoes. |  Can Say "Man, you're unreal!" to woman abusers. Zero tolerance. NO MORE! |
 "Pinky Swear?" From a child's perspective, promises are just words unless they are accompanied by positive action. Let's promise to end VAW now. And for her sake, for the kids' sake, for the future, let's act together to make that promise come true. Be Real. |  It doesn't matter how it is rationalized or "justified", violence against women is ALWAYS wrong. |  Walk a Mile in Her Shoes to show awareness and support - get educated to UNDERSTAND how it feels to BE "In Her Shoes." |
