As stories of harm within our faith communities increase, Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is committed to speaking out against sexualized violence.
Sexualized violence is physical or psychological violence carried out through sexual means or by targeting a person’s sexuality. Examples include rape, sexual assault, psychological violence such as manipulation and coercion, and sexual harassment.
We acknowledge that MCC and the churches with which we work have been complicit in perpetuating violence through our silence and our inability to hold accountable those who have caused harm.
