Men can make a difference…
Domestic Violence is not just a women’s issue. It affects everyone! Violence against one member of the community is violence against the whole community. The time to work together is now! You can get involved today.
As community advocates against domestic violence and racism, YWCA Enid is proud to announce the Maverick Program (Men Against Violence)
By definition, a maverick is an independently-minded person who refuses to accept the standards of a particular group. When thinking of how this applies to the rejection of popular societal norms of male domination and attitudes toward women, it’s exciting to be labeled a maverick!
Mavericks stand together refusing to accept the idea that being a “strong man” means dominating women and children. Mavericks are committed to being positive male role models and ending racism and violence.
“Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear,
but around in awareness”
James Thurber
