J. Ron Byler is the executive director of Mennonite Central Committee U.S. As stories of harm within our faith communities increase, Mennonite
Central Committee (MCC) is committed to speaking out against sexualized
violence.
Sexualized violence is physical or psychological violence carried
out through sexual means or by targeting a person’s sexuality. Examples
include rape, sexual assault, psychological violence such as
manipulation and coercion, and sexual harassment.
