Men Can Stop Rape

Men Can Stop Rape (MCSR) seeks to mobilize men to use their strength for creating cultures free from violence, especially men’s violence against women. In 1997, the founders of MCSR pioneered a different way of addressing the epidemic of violence against women. Though the majority of violent acts against women are committed by men, most prevention efforts are risk-reduction and self-defense tactics directed at women. The founders wanted to shift the responsibility of deterring harm away from women by promoting healthy, nonviolent masculinity. Their vision offered a plan for prevention that outlines positive, proactive solutions for engaging men as allies and inspiring them to feel motivated to end men’s violence against women. More than a decade later, MCSR continues to successfully mobilize male youth to prevent men’s violence against women; inspire young men to create their own positive definitions of masculinity; develop healthy relationships with others; embrace the concept of personal responsibility; work in partnership with female peers; and do their part to end violence and build safe communities.

Visions of the World Inc

MISSION STATEMENT “My dream, thus mission in life is to travel the world and photograph beautiful, vibrant animals in all places and circumstances, free and confined.” Julian Starks - 2018 I am a Los Angeles based Photographer, Filmmaker, Actor and Animal Activist writing on behalf of VISIONS OF THE WORLD Inc., my 501(c)(3) Non-Profit company. Our first project was “LIFE Behind Bars” Vol. 1, my first Fine Art Photography book. The book was titled after the photographic series that I started in order to honor the beauty of animals in captivity, and to support the many individuals and organizations that have dedicated themselves to caring for and protecting these magnificent beasts. The conservation sanctuaries that I visited and featured in this volume are working in concerted efforts with multinational organizations to save species from extinction. Brilliant staffs, scientists, doctors, volunteers and activists, all working to save countless species from extinction staff them. I began my journey of photographing these amazing animals at TIPPI HEDREN’S SHAMBALA PRESERVE. I fell in love with the animals and the work that Tippi is doing there. This has truly been my inspiration! So much so, that Henson, Shambala’s Regal Male Lion, graces the front cover of this book. The book consist of 12 other Zoos, Preserves and Sanctuaries, as well. I created Visions of the World Inc., to help support wild animal sanctuaries and institutions like those featured in this book. A percentage of all proceeds from the book; photos and all other ancillary products will go to the sanctuaries and institutions featured within these pages. My mission is to educate people to these plights and get them and their children to visit and support these places and truly appreciate the beauty of these animals and the caring people who take care of them. In the past two years, I've hired a Project Manager, Art
