MARS is an all-masculine-identifying organization dedicated to exploring masculinity and combating rape culture at Northwestern. https://twitter.com/MARSatNU
MARS believes that sexual assault is inherently a mens’ and masculine-identifying individual's issue and that as such we have both an opportunity and responsibility to stand up against sexual violence. MARS seeks to create a healthy sexual culture through understanding masculinity and working against rape culture. MARS is affiliated with the Northwestern Center for Awareness, Response & Education (CARE).
