Violence against women is a major problem in our society. Approximately every six weeks there is a domestic violence or intimate partner related murder in our community. In 2007 fifty five percent (55%) of the female homicide victims in New York State were murdered by their intimate partner, spouse, ex-husband or ex-boyfriend. The Buffalo News reported last month that there have been 13 female intimate partner homicides in the past seven months. Stand Up Guys is a local not for profit organization that is dedicated to ending violence against women by engaging well intentioned men and women as allies. We believe that ending violence against women is not a “women’s issue’ but an issue for anyone who cares about fairness, justice and safety for the women and children in their family and community. Our Vision is a world with Liberty, Justice, Safety and Equality for All.

Stand Up Guys is launching many awareness and fundraising campaigns to secure the necessary funds to develop and implement our prevention programs to help eradicate the insidious epidemic of domestic violence, interpersonal violence, sexual assault and teen dating violence. We will be at the Rochester Public Market on two consecutive Sundays from 8am until 1pm on July 26th and August 2nd; displaying brochures and video clips about our prevention and education programs, 10,000 Men By 2010 Campaign, as well as, holding an art and crafts sale and silent auction.

Cut It Out Event
April 26, 2008

Stand Up Guys, Rape Crisis and over 50 volunteers teamed up with local hair salons and barber shops during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Our gracious host was Daniel Ward Salon on University Avenue. Major Sponsors included PAETEC, McCarthy Tents and Events, Verizon Wireless, Monroe County Sheriff, Alouette Tool, Spin Marketing.

We were honored to have in attendance: Jean Howard, on behalf of Mayor Robert Duffy, who signed the Stand Up Guy Pledge prior to the event; Dr. William Destler, President of RIT, who signed the Pledge and made a pledge by purchasing an “Ann-Made” fabric bag for his wife, Rebecca. We also owe major gratitude to Stand Up Guy Rick Walther, who attended the event with his family and presented Stand Up Guys with a check from PAETEC for $500.
