Men as Role Models

A united front in ending domestic violence

Domestic violence is not a gender issue. It affects

everyone – including men and boys. According to

the Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality

Review, from January 1997 through June 2006

at least 359 people were killed by domestic

violence abusers in Washington State. This

number includes female victims as well as

male and female children, friends, law enforcement,

and family members.

Men are great allies in ending domestic violence.

Being a positive role model and speaking out

against domestic violence, men can strongly

influence their peers and raise awareness

that violence is not acceptable.

The last decade has seen a new wave of male

activists and organizations in the field of

domestic violence. They offer a different way

of looking at the issue. Whether behind closed

doors or in the open, men can confront other

men. Violence is a part of our culture, we see it

every day: school shootings, war, faith or sexual

orientation based attacks, and gender violence.

Nationally, most of these acts are committed

by men. However, these perpetrators are

the minority – most men in this country

do not commit violent acts. Rape, sexual

harassment, date rape, domestic violence: if

society continues to call these things “women’s

issues” doesn’t that naturally do two things? It

takes the responsibility off the perpetrator and

disengages men from the broader discussion.

Men’s Network Against Domestic Violence is a

local organization dedicated to ending all forms

of violence against women. “The majority of

men who are not violent are unaware of the

potential for their voice and actions to make

a difference and remain silent in the face of

other men’s violence.”

New approaches in the men’s movement make allies of

men, rather than enemies. Men who take responsibility

for their actions, break down old gender stereotypes,

and take initiative in their community can partner with

others to end domestic violence.

According to the Men’s Network Against Domestic

Violence, “In 2000, a study found that one in three

Statewide Hotline

(800) 562-6025

men did not actively support community efforts to stop

violence against women because no one had asked them

to get involved or they did not know how to help.”

On Father’s Day 2003 many men including

celebrities, authors, sports figures and CEOs

joined a historic public statement to call for

an end to violence against women. This statement

appeared as a full page ad in the New York Times.

This became known as the Founding Father’s

Campaign backed by the Family Violence

Prevention Fund (FVPF).

“We call ourselves the Founding Fathers

because we intend for this crucial beginning

to give way to a new kind of society – where

decency and respect require no special day on the

calendar, where boys are taught that violence does

not equal strength and where men stand with

courage, lead with conviction, and speak with one

voice to say, “No more.”

The campaign has gained respect and strength over

the years, and in 2008 the Founding Fathers will

use Father’s Day to introduce a larger campaign,

“One that encourages everyone, including

mothers, fathers, grandparents and older

siblings to give and teach respect.”

Men in the domestic violence movement are

becoming involved in different ways. They donate

time and money to organizations that educate the

community or provide life-saving services for victims

of abuse. They serve as role models and speak out

about the affects of abuse. They engage others to

change stereotypes, and teach equality and peace

to the boys in their lives. EDVP salutes its many

male volunteers, donors, Board and committee

members who give their time and talent to help

end domestic violence.

Dear Friends,

But He Never Hit Me is a book

I’m currently reading by Dr. Jill

Murray. The book is about nonphysical

abuse and unhealthy

relationships. We’ve come a long

way in terms of society addressing

physical abuse with improvements

in laws, the criminal justice system, the medical community

and more. However, seldom do we hear about the harsh

reality of verbal, psychological, and emotional abuse and the

impact it has on the lives of millions of women and children.

What is non-physical abuse? Verbal abuse can involve

name calling, nasty remarks, arguing until you give in or

being verbally threatened. Psychological abuse can include

isolation from friends, family and the outside world, constant

belittling, and telling you that you are worthless, threats

to harm family, children or friends, or fighting until you

are mentally exhausted. Emotional abuse can include such

things as controlling your dress or your actions, neglecting

your feelings, restricting who you see or what you do, always

Issaquah Women’s Club

In 2000 the Issaquah Women’s Club created an

educational scholarship fund for EDVP clients. This

fund was set up to aid in the educational needs for

victims of abuse. Thanks to their dedication and

fundraising efforts to date they have raised over $21,000

and 41 women have received scholarships toward their

educational needs. Helping women and children in need

is a core goal of the Issaquah Women’s Club through

its charitable arm, the Issaquah Women’s Foundation, a

nonprofit organization.

Last year alone, fourteen women received a scholarship.

The average scholarship is just over $500 which is

designated directly toward a woman’s tuition.

Scholarships aren’t the only contribution Issaquah

Women’s Club makes to EDVP. Members have also

held key positions on EDVP’s Board of Directors and

committees over the years. Through these positions they

brought their expertise to agency operations and services.

saying you are wrong or bad, and acting extremely jealous.

Many women live in this world of fear, humiliation, and

powerlessness. Their lives can seem out of control. Often

they feel if they change and/or do the “right thing” life will

be better and return to normal. Unfortunately, all too soon

the craziness begins to seem normal and there is a sense of

hopelessness and helplessness. EDVP can help. Our mission

is to end all forms of domestic violence. When you call the

Crisis Line there is a voice of hope. In our support groups,

women’s voices are heard and validated. If you are afraid

for your life, our shelters are a place of comfort and safety.

EDVP staff are trained to work with all forms of abuse. We

provide options and opportunities, choices and hope.

If you, a family member or friend have ever said “but he

doesn’t hit me.” Call EDVP. We can help.

Sincerely,

Barbara Langdon,

Executive Director

President, Debby Bader; Vice President, Eve Martinez-Petrut;

Second Vice President, Myrt Johnson; Secretary, Ellie Bump;

Fundraising Coordinator, Valerie Armitage; and Treasurer,

Annette Aries (not pictured).

Their dedication and continued support is apparent in

everything they do including holding fundraisers such as the Easy & Elegant Entertaining Event at Pickering Barn in Issaquah. It’s an

occasion not to be missed! Mark your calendars now for November 8, 2008! (Check EDVP’s web site for more information on community

organized events.)

Each year the Issaquah Women’s Club purchases a table at EDVP’s Safe Passage Breakfast, an educational event. Also, during their

monthly meetings the Volunteer Services coordinators, Betty Cobel and Barbara McCrone designate specific charities to which money

and specific “wish list” items are donated by the members. In January, they collected socks and slippers for all EDVP shelter clients,

many of which were knitted or crocheted by talented Club members. Additionally, thousands of dollars worth of additional items such as

toiletries, phone cards, and school supplies have been donated at meetings and delivered to the agency.

The Issaquah Women’s Club is truly committed to social human services and improving the well-being of the community. They also

contribute to other wonderful community programs such as the Issaquah Food Bank, Eastside Baby Corner, Issaquah Church and

Community Services, the Issaquah Community Center Summer Youth Program, and Issaquah Valley Senior Center.

Class Teaches More than

Martial Arts

Eastside Domestic Violence

Program started a new

type of class last summer.

And it continues to

make a huge impact

in children’s lives.

Both shelters, My

Friend’s Place and

My Sister’s Home,

brought in martial

arts expert, Vinnie

Geer, to lead a youth

martial arts class.

Vinnie’s normal class

centers on teaching children

and teens new ways of thinking

about discipline, self control, and respect. What started as a

donation of a few classes has evolved into a formal, weekly class

restructured to address the specific needs of children and teens

having witnessed domestic violence. The class called Mind,

Body, & Spirit Martial Arts, now also addresses creating new

ideas around power, peace, and family.

As with any new program the kids were tentative. Some

shuffled around the room, not quite sure what to make of it.

Slowly, with the guidance of Vinnie and staff, they became very

interested. “Soon we began to see the kids stepping forward to

overcome their own limitations and learning to be leaders,” said

Jen, Children’s Advocate.

One of the students in the class, a nine year old girl, was having

trouble learning a pattern of movements called a “Basic Form”

in order to be able to test for her next belt. She was so frustrated

she wanted to leave the program. She said, “I just can’t learn

it” and “It’s too hard.” She left the room in the middle of class.

Although her mother, sisters, staff and Vinnie kept trying to

motivate and encourage her, she still wanted to quit.

“What made the difference was not what we expected,” said

Jen. Everyone in the class had now passed the test to move on

to the next belt level except the nine year old girl. A 15 year old

boy in the class simply looked at her and said, “We’ve saved the

best one for last!” The girl looked at him with surprise. Having

him believe in her helped her believe in herself. The teenager

inspired the rest of the kids to help her with this difficult move.

They helped her practice all week and by the next class she

passed the test and received her belt.

To these kids it’s more than just a class. They look forward to

the next challenge. “This is what martial arts is really about,”

said Vinnie. “Inspiring greatness in each other and learning

how to become a leader.”

As is turns out, the kids inspired Vinnie too! Working with

children affected by domestic violence has had a great impact

on him. He completed EDVP’s volunteer training program

to ensure he knew as much about domestic violence when he

started volunteering his martial arts class last summer. Now

he is looking into creating his own non-profit to be able to

continue this work and help more children in the future.

Thank you for helping us make

Domestic Violence Statistics

Nationally, one in four women will experience abuse at some

point in her lifetime (National Coalition Against Domestic

Violence).

Domestic violence is a health care issue. Studies show the cost of

domestic violence exceeds $5.8 billion each year in the United

States, $4.1 billion of which consists of direct medical and

mental health care services alone (Family Violence Prevention

Fund, 2007).

There are an estimated 90,750 domestic violence incidents

in King County each year (2005-2006 Human Services Need

Update, Bellevue, WA).

From January 1997 through June 2006 at least 359 people were

killed by domestic violence abusers in Washington State. In

Volunteer Spotlight

Sue Galpin worked in the corporate world for many years and

had an active family life. She always promised herself when

she retired she would volunteer her time and knowledge to a

worthwhile cause.

In her previous human resource training Sue knew about

domestic violence. She also had friends that had gone through

abusive relationships and was there for them when they needed

someone to talk to.

“Hoping to combine my professional skills with my personal

desire to help children and families, I turned to the internet in

search of volunteer positions. EDVP was one of many listed.

Once I got to know the staff, I knew I was in the right place.”

Sue has volunteered in several areas within EDVP but she

does most of her volunteer work in the Resource Development

Department which is responsible for raising nearly half of the

agency operating budget. She lends support with marketing

materials, organization, reconciliation of events, administrative

support, and she creates the Holiday Program Wish Tags each

year. “I discovered my personality doesn’t really lean toward

volunteering in direct service, I would end up wanting to take

everyone home with me.”

“The most rewarding aspect of volunteering with EDVP for

me is working with the staff. There is a determination beyond

one’s imagination to help survivors, and put an end to domestic

violence. From the moment you begin working on a project,

the staff treat you as part of the team – asking for input and

initiating discussions over various projects. You are thanked and

given credit for the projects you work on. You are kept informed

“I’m Queen of the World!” shouts out an

eleven year old girl with arms open wide

while aboard the Mallory Todd Sailboat

courtesy of Sailing Heritage Society on

route with her family to the Parade of Lights in

downtown Kirkland during the holidays.

Sailing Heritage Society is an organization

that is committed to providing a unique

experience for children who may never

otherwise have the opportunity. In

December, this generous group donated

their time and sailboat once again to

EDVP’s shelter residents and their

children. “What a fantastic and

rejuvenating evening,” said a 37

year old program participant of

My Friend’s Place shelter.

Families fleeing domestic violence can

often feel overwhelmed and hopeless,

especially during the holidays.

However, with agencies like Sailing

as to the success of

projects you work on. You

leave the office feeling

that you have actually

helped to make an event

successful, or collect

donations, or send a child

to the movies.”

“We are thrilled to have

Sue working with us in

the Resource Development Department. Utilizing her office

management background and experience Sue has organized

and improved processes in our office which in turn has helped

the staff become more efficient. She takes on any project with

a great sense of humor and always raises the energy level in the

room as soon as she arrives. Sue is a brilliant colleague, tireless

volunteer and fabulous friend. She is a huge contributor to

the success of our Department!” Kelly Becker, Development

Director.

When asked what the challenges are, Sue states simply, “Not

getting over involved. The type of work EDVP does and the

success they share in converting abused women and children

into survivors is hard to walk away from.”

Sue and her husband Keith recently moved to Gig Harbor

where they are now in search of a non-profit where they can

volunteer their time together. Even though she’s no longer “onsite,”

Sue still finds time to drop by EDVP to say hello and

always offers to take projects home with her.

Heritage Society who contribute their time, effort, and

support they provide a unique and fun experience to

many residents of EDVP’s shelters each year. They are

committed to making a difference in their community.

One fifteen year old said, “It was a once in a lifetime

experience, I’ve never been on the water before.”

Domestic violence can affect women and children on

many different levels, often having an impact on

the rest of their life. Being on the open water, on a

beautifully clear night, the women and children

expressed feeling peace, feeling alive and as

one child put it: “My best holiday ever!” One

mother said, “I’m so inspired by other people’s

willingness to help and support us.” Sailing

Heritage Society helped create a wonderful

memory sure to last a lifetime and truly

made a difference for so many

during the holidays.

EDVP’s shelters and programs were full throughout

the holiday season. With your help we were able to

provide a fun and joyful holiday, including meals

and gifts, for all the women and children in our

shelters and programs.

Thank you to Pam & Rochelle at Chat With

Women radio program and Whole Foods Market,

Redmond and Seattle for hosting EDVP’s 2nd

Annual Toy Drive! And to Duke’s Chowder House

for collecting additional toys. We raised over $7,842
