Who we are
Changing the Narrative.
MenAsWell is the Dutch organisation for male victims of sexual violence in The Netherlands, including hetero, gay, bi+, trans, intersex and non-binary.
We bridge the barriers to support that men face following sexual violence, while increasing awareness and visibility of male victims through education and campaigns.
Since our launch in 2020, Menaswell has become the leading voice of sexual violence against men in The Netherlands.
The topic of sexual violence against men (SVAM) is under-reported and widely misunderstood, meaning representation is lacking, and access to victim support and justice is lower. We actively stand against sexually transgressive behaviour of all forms.
Marginalised communities, such as gbMSM, and BIPOC, face increased rates of sexual violence. By building better visibility of sexual violence against men+, we can work to reduce social barriers.
