A Call to Men Aims to Redefine Manhood

Founded by Tony Porter and Ted Bunch, A Call to Men is a national organization dedicated to preventing violence and discrimination against girls and women, which it believes is ultimately the responsibility of men. By working together with non-profit and grassroots organizations, government agencies, colleges, and corporations across the United States, A Call to Men seeks to change society's current definition of manhood and start a national movement of men dedicated to the cause. Through workshops, seminars, and other educational tools, the group raises awareness about domestic and sexual violence among men and challenges them to rethink their beliefs regarding women.

Both co-founders of A Call to Men are nationally recognized for their efforts to help women, having served as consultants to the Department of Justice Office of Violence Against Women and the White House Commission on Violence Against Women and Girls. Porter is currently working with the National Football League and National Basketball Association, while Bunch is an advisory board member to the New York State Integrated Domestic Violence Court.
