Who we are

Changing the Narrative.

MenAsWell is the expertise center for male victims of sexual violence in The Netherlands, including hetero, gay, bi+, trans, intersex and non-binary. We offer support, visibility and education.

At MenAsWell, we believe in changing the narrative around sexual violence against men. We are the voice for all men who are victims of sexual violence in the Netherlands, regardless of their sexual identity or gender expression. Our mission is to bridge the barriers that men face when seeking help and recognition.

We raise awareness and visibility of male victims through education and campaigns, advocating for an inclusive approach that highlights the diverse experiences of men, including marginalized communities such as gbMSM, refugees, and BIPOC. We aim to enhance societal acceptance of the topic of sexual violence and ensure better access to victim support, information and justice.

With our commitment to opposing all forms of sexual and domestic misconduct, we work together towards a safer and more just society for everyone. Together, we change the conversation and make sexual safety and recovery possible.
