This powerful program approaches men as potential helpers, not as potential rapists. By seeing a video where a shocking male-on-male rape is described in graphic detail, men learn what it might feel like to be raped. They also develop empathy with how women feel as survivors. After this life-altering experience, audience members hear how to help women recover from rape, learn how they can better define consent in their own intimate encounters, and how they can intervene as bystanders to help end the abuse of women. Since 1993, this program has been seen by tens of thousands of men nationwide in colleges, high schools, community organizations, prisons, police departments, health departments, and rape crisis centers. Women who have previewed the program have also found it to be a powerful tool for educating male audiences. An independent review by Professor Paul Schewe at the University of Illinois found that this is the only sexual assault program ever to show long-term (over 7 months) positive effects.
