Men Against Rape (MAR) and Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment (PAVE) are UCSB student groups devoted to education and activism. We work to educate people and raise awareness about issues such as sexual, domestic, and dating violence. We provide a safe space for students to learn and discuss these issues as we interrogate them in our everyday lives by analyzing media, current events, and cultural productions. Students in Men Against Rape are also encouraged to spread this knowledge and awareness through activism as our group explores a variety of activist strategies from demonstrations and rallies to spoken word performances, poster campaigns, and informative programs and events. So if you'd like to learn more about gender based violence or get active in working against it we would love to have you at Men Against Rape. After all, we believe all people have a responsibility to do something about these important issues, so come join us sometime.
