Men Can Stop Rape
Men Can Stop Rape (MCSR) seeks to mobilize men to use their strength for creating cultures free from violence, especially men’s violence against women. In 1997, the founders of MCSR pioneered a different way of addressing the epidemic of violence against women. Though the majority of violent acts against women are committed by men, most prevention efforts are risk-reduction and self-defense tactics directed at women. The founders wanted to shift the responsibility of deterring harm away from women by promoting healthy, nonviolent masculinity. Their vision offered a plan for prevention that outlines positive, proactive solutions for engaging men as allies and inspiring them to feel motivated to end men’s violence against women. More than a decade later, MCSR continues to successfully mobilize male youth to prevent men’s violence against women; inspire young men to create their own positive definitions of masculinity; develop healthy relationships with others; embrace the concept of personal responsibility; work in partnership with female peers; and do their part to end violence and build safe communities.

COLLATERAL REPAIR PROJECT
Collateral Repair Project (CRP) in Amman, Jordan, has been assisting victims of violent conflict since 2006. We are a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization in the US and registered as an international organization with the Ministry of Social Development in Jordan. CRP was initially founded to aid Iraqi refugees fleeing violence in the aftermath of the second Gulf War, yet we offer our services to those in need regardless of nationality. We currently assist and seek to empower refugees from various nationalities -- for example, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia -- and Jordanians living in extreme poverty. Our holistic approach supports refugees to take care of their most pressing basic needs through our Emergency Assistance Program, which provides food vouchers, cash assistance, and other vital items. We actively encourage those in our community to participate in activities at our vibrant community centers, where we offer various educational, recreational, and wellness activities so that they can gain skills, build community, and heal from trauma. Lastly, we provide leadership and community service opportunities for refugees to serve others, which has proven to be a key driver of their resilience. We are proud of the close ties and honest conversations we have with the community we serve, which is where our greatest strengths lie. Our great strengths are our deep knowledge and trust of our community, our commitment to community-based engagement, and our ability to provide emergency assistance to those in need in an efficient and timely manner. CRP supports the integration of refugees in Amman, Jordan, and is grounded in three core values that help us determine if we are on the right path and fulfilling our goals. 1. We are community-focused - We welcome everyone equally, regardless of faith, nationality, or gender, and we view diversity as a source of strength and opportunity. We deeply listen to the voices of the community in all decisions. We are creative and innovative with limited resources. 2. We strive for holistic human development - We make a difference in the lives of others every day. We provide opportunities for everyone to grow, make friends, heal, and become resilient. We build a supportive and encouraging environment for everyone. 3. We are professional and respectful - We create extraordinary and unique experiences. We act with kindness to everyone and each other constantly. We are open, honest, and prompt.
