The Mission

M.A.S.A.R. (pronounced "maze-ar") is an all-male activist group at Haverford College which is dedicated to promoting awareness of rape as men's issue. Our work concentrates on educating men on campus about how they can be a part of the anti-rape movement. We also work with the women's groups on-campus, coordinate with the administration to address issues surrounding rape and sexual assault, and make an effort to expand our educational campaigns beyond Haverford's boundaries.

Founding

Founded in the fall of 1998 by Tim Harger '99, Mike Shipler '99 and Aaron Clauset '01 as an all-male anti-rape activist group. Now we are a concerned group of men seeking to not just 'be' anti-rape, but to 'do' anti-rape. Much of our growth is owed to the work of a few individuals and to positive relationships with brother and sister organizations such as Men Can Stop Rape in Washington D.C., S.A.R.S.E. at Haverford College, and the Rape Awareness Project (R.A.P.) at Bryn Mawr College.
