Welcome to the “YES, ALL MEN!” podcast brought to you by VESTA.

Since starting work in the sexual violence prevention field, Ilyas has embarked on a journey of learning about hegemonic masculinity and examining what it truly means to be a man. Through his perspective as a straight, mixed race man, he will be exploring why all men need to be a part of sexual violence prevention. Through his conversations with other men, women, and relevant scholars, Ilyas also hopes to find a more positive version of masculinity that can help men and women alike to escape from the ills of gender based violence.
