An Open Invitation: Partnering with Men to End Domestic Violence

October 20-22, 2010

Marriott Resort and Spa

Myrtle Beach, SC

1 in every 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Here in

South Carolina, over the past eight years, approximately 38 women were killed annually

by their intimate partner. We believe that it is time for a significant change that can be

collaboratively achieved between both women and men. Now is the time to create

change and build strong communications and quality advocacy programs for victims and

survivors. This is your time to network, share your experiences and use this opportunity

to learn and receive more information to include men in the movement against domestic

violence. South Carolina ranks number 8 in the nation for women who are killed

by men. This is devastating to communities, family members, friends, members of the

clergy and those who work closely with the victims. It is time for us to work together to

make South Carolina a safer place. Teaming up with men can provide a suitable source to

assure advocates and professionals are able to help both men and women who are victims

and survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

The South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (SCCADVASA)

is providing this three day training that will allow advocates to receive a wide range of

continuing education hours; presentations and workshops presented by knowledgeable

advocates, as well as the opportunity to share valuable information with others on how to

alleviate interpersonal violence. This year, SCCADVASA wants to encourage the

involvement and commitment of men who are currently working as advocates, as well as

assuring that we all work for the benefit of victims and survivors. On Wednesday,

October 20, 2010 from 5:00-7:00 pm, the fraternity of Omega Psi Phi, Incorporated will

provide an evening where they will Step Out on Violence. The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity

has chosen domestic violence as one issue on their national agenda and has agreed to

provide us with a unique exhibition of their representation and support of ending violence

against women. In addition, we will hear from Jackson Katz, Tony Porter and Judge

Ronald Adrine. Mr. Dale Well, a distinguished survivor of domestic

violence will also share his life experiences.

Dr. Jackson Katz, is an educator, author, filmmaker and social theorist who has

long been recognized as one of America's leading anti-sexist male activists. In 1993

he conceived and co-founded the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program at

Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society. The multi-racial,

mixed gender MVP program was the first large-scale attempt to enlist high school, collegiate, and

professional athletes in the fight against all forms of men's violence against women. Today MVP is the

most widely utilized gender violence prevention program in college and professional athletics. His

influential book, “The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help,” was

published by Sourcebooks in 2006. Jackson is a well-known activist around the world.

Tony Porter is a gifted public speaker, an educator, as well as an activist working in the social

justice arena for over twenty years. He is nationally recognized for his effort to end men's violence

against women. Tony is the original visionary and co-founder behind A CALL TO MEN: The

National Association of Men and Women Committed to Ending Violence Against Women. He

is the author of "Well Meaning Men...Breaking Out of the Man Box. - Ending Violence Against

Women". Tony's message of accountability is welcome and supported by many grassroots

and established organizations. He’s currently working with numerous domestic and sexual violence

programs, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, colleges and universities

around the country. He has worked with the United States Military Academy at West Point and the

United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. In addition, he has been a guest presenter for the United

Violence in Ohio, the Ohio Attorney General’s Victim’s Assistance Advisory Board, and the Ohio

Supreme Court’s Domestic Violence Task Force. He co-chairs the National Judicial Institute on

Domestic Violence and chairs the National Board of Directors of the Family Violence Prevention Fund.

He also served as the first chair of Cleveland’s Domestic Violence Coordinating Council. The Judge

governmental agencies, including, the U.S. Department of Justice, the National College of District

Attorneys, The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, the National League of Cities and

Violence Law,” part of the West Group Ohio Handbook Series.

Dale Wells is an advocate who has journeyed beyond the hurt and pain that
