Sexual violence impacts people of all genders, yet masculine survivors often face a specific set of stigma, silence, and misunderstanding. Approximately 1 in 6 men will experience sexual violence in their lifetime, and many more male and masculine‑identifying individuals struggle to seek support due to societal expectations around masculinity.
This session will work to challenge stereotypes, raise awareness, and build community understanding. Participants will learn about the realities of survivorship for men, male, and masculine survivors—while exploring ways to foster empathy, reduce stigma, and promote healing‑centered support for all.
