Even Pain Has a Purpose: A Call to Men Who Have Lost Women They Love to Male Violence

The Transformative Power of Pain
Men, your pain over losing the women you love can be a transformative force. It’s not just personal — it’s political. When you let that pain speak, when you allow yourself to grieve openly, you challenge the toxic systems that lead to these losses.

Your voices matter. We need you in the fight against the violence that has stolen too many of our loved ones. Whether it’s standing up in your communities, challenging the men around you, or raising awareness — the pain you carry can fuel meaningful change.

You can be utterly unstoppable once you unlearn hate and overcome hate. Even pain has a purpose. 

Includes stories about Amiri Baraka and the women in his life who were taken by male violence.
