MenAsWell supports LGBTQIA+ individuals, especially gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM), through education, visibility, peer support, and therapy. These efforts address the psychological harm of sexual violence, with 25% of gbMSM affected annually. The program counters stigma and harmful masculinity norms with trauma-informed interventions. Key activities include public campaigns on visibility, care, and connection. An Ambassador Programme trains people with lived experience to provide culturally competent support and outreach in queer and male+ spaces, including nightlife venues, using consent cards to spark discussions on safety. Educational workshops for community members and professionals address perpetration among gbMSM and build boundary-setting skills. This comprehensive approach ensures focused support and wider awareness for gbMSM survivors.
