The MKP Ethical Relationships Policy

Personal Commitment: I WILL NOT EXPLOIT ANOTHER PERSON’S VULNERABILITY

This means that: I acknowledge that a relationship may be exploitative when I take advantage of my position or experience within the ManKind Project to influence another for my gain, particularly if I know that person to be vulnerable at the time. I understand that exploitation may occur at any time, and a person may be more vulnerable to exploitation shortly after initiation.

As a member of the ManKind Project I commit that I will not participate in any financial, business, therapeutic, or sexual relationship that a reasonable person would consider to be exploitative.

If at any time I believe my actions might be exploitative, or if I have been challenged about my behaviour, I will consult those I trust to challenge that behaviour and my underlying motivations.

I am accountable for my actions, and I am willing to be held accountable by my Centre and the ManKind Project. If I believe someone has exploited another’s vulnerability, I will hold him accountable.

If a peer review is conducted and I am judged to have exploited another’s vulnerability, I agree that consequences within the ManKind Project International Community may be imposed. 

As a member of the ManKind Project I agree to abide by this Policy.
