- Title
Mentoring Marines to Prevent Sexist and Violent Behavior against Women.
- Authors
Winter, Metta
- Abstract
The article presents information on a leadership program offered by Ithaca, New York-based Cornell University's Family Life Development Center to train senior Marines to mentor their fellow Marines in holding themselves to a respectful code of conduct toward women. This program was created at the Marine Corps' request to increase male leadership in what has traditionally been characterized as women issues. To date, 2, 350 Marines have been introduced to the program, and 600 Marines have been trained as trainers. The long-term goal of the program is to change the institutional culture of the Marine Corps and teach the Marines to prevent sexist and violent behavior against women.
