While our society is well aware of female victims, often male victims of sexual assault are forgotten or neglected due to shame, stigma, and the like. The public may hear the words men and sexual assault and automatically assume that men are the perpetrators. Somehow seeing men as the targets of sexual violence is difficult to comprehend. The truth is it is hard for most men to see themselves as victims or as someone who has been abused. This session will explore this and reasons why we need to encourage the men with whom we associate to see themselves as survivors-a small but important change in language that connotes resilience and empowerment.
