Stop The Violence

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are asking you to be more than a bystander.

Mothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters, daughters and friends are being harmed by violence and abuse. The abuse also has devastating effects on the children who live in homes where abuse is taking place. Families, friends, and others who care about a woman being abused, are also affected.

Why this campaign talks to men?

Violence against women is not only a women's issue, it's also a men's issue. The vast majority of men don't abuse women and don't condone abuse. However, the reality is that most sexual and domestic violence is committed by men against women.

Men who don't abuse can make a difference.

All men can help create a culture where abuse is not accepted. By speaking out, men can be allies in preventing violence against women.
