men ending rape is committed to ending rape by encouraging men to play a significant role in ending the perpetuation of a campus rape culture.

Keith E. Edwards offers campus speaking, help in developing student organizations, and other consulting services on rape prevention and sexual assault programs on college campuses.

Men are described as the perpetrators in 99% of single-victim rapes (Violence Against Women, Bureau of Justice Statistics, USDOJ, 1997). Yet the majority of rape prevention efforts have focused on what women can do to respond to a place where rape happens. Given the high percentage of male perpetrators, rape is clearly a men’s issue. Yet we rarely talk to men about what they can do to change the rape culture on campus, a culture that encourages or condones rape to happen.

Men can definitely be encouraged to play a significant role in ending the perpetuation of a campus rape culture.

The nationally recognized presentation, She Fears You, identifies for men what they have to gain from ending campus rape - that they are no longer perceived as potential rapists but as individuals capable of entering caring and emotion-based relationships. Through dialogue, activities, and a multi-media presentation both men and women are encouraged to be active in changing the rape culture on campus, a culture that encourages or condones rape to happen.

Keith also works to help college campuses establish successful student organizations, designed to address men's role in ending rape. These organization's can have a significant impact on the campus culture through education, activism, and advocacy.

Keith is also available for Take Back the Night speak outs, corporate or city government training, community based organization development, and program evaluation consultation.
