Get in the game! Sexual assault is not a "women's issue." Every time a man's voice joins those of women in speaking out against sexual violence, the world becomes safer for all of us. The Handprint Project is a way for men to join the dialogue about sexual violence. This project invites men to take a pledge to not commit or condone sexual violence and to seal the pledge by placing their cut-out handprint on a board that will be displayed at Take Back the Night.
