"Men and boys play a critical role in helping to prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Men can choose not to perpetrate acts of violence and challenge those men who do. They can also challenge ideals and attitudes which support violence against women." -Futures Without Violence

Amanda, Kaila, and Olivia talk with Jeff Matsushita from the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence about his work around violence prevention. Jeff shares about the importance of engaging boys and men in violence prevention. Men and boys play a crucial role in building safe and healthy communities.
