3 Sexual violence is preventable, and everyone has a role and a responsibility in preventing it.

4 What We Get to Do in Our Work! Every one deserves to be safe and healthy and we get to be proponents of this! We get to create and contribute to systems that promote health and wellness for all people! You are directly contributing to the success and safety of our communities!

5 Situating Prevention Examples? Benefits? Limitations? Primary Prevention Public Awareness Risk Reduction Focuses on changing norms, rules, factors, and conditions that allow domestic and sexual violence to occur in the first place Raises awareness of the problem of domestic and sexual violence and gives information about available resources Attempts to teach individuals ways to reduce their likelihood of victimization

6 Working Upstream Primary Before it Happens Approaches that take place before sexual violence has occurred to prevent initial perpetration or victimization. Efforts to address the root causes of violence and promote healthy norms. Secondary In the Thick Tertiary In the Aftermath

7 Using an Anti-Oppression Framework: Inclusiveness Accessibility Equity Social Justice

8 Identify isms Examine your attitudes and actions Be cognizant of your advocacy processes and products Be an active learner Acknowledge and shift power This Means Working with people, rather than on people.

9 WHAT IS HEALTHY SEXUALITY?

10 The ways we experience Sexuality (using the Sexualitree) INTIMATE Can grow and change over time. RELATIONAL The structure upon which intimate experiences are founded and spring out of. CULTURAL: Deeply rooted. They can be changed, but are more difficult to change.

12 What is the role of Advocates? Prevention begins, as with advocacy, with creating safe spaces for people to tell their stories When prevention happens, reporting increases

13 Health Promotion Principle #1: Open, Honest, Authentic Example: Considerations when Responding to Youth How does trauma affect young folks? What options are available to young folks? Are you a mandatory reporter? If so, what are your responsibilities?

14 OPEN, HONEST, AND AUTHENTIC CONVERSATIONS Why do people have sex?

15 Navigating Questions Is it rape when you have sex with your partner to make them happy, but you really don t want to? How physical should a relationship be? When is it okay to have sex? Why is catcalling considered sexual harassment? So if someone didn t verbally consent, it s rape?

16 Access to comprehensive & medically accurate, age appropriate, information for all Information on Health and gender equity Language to talk about relationships and sex as both normal and pleasurable Consent as pleasure focused and not fear-driven HEALTH PROMOTION PRINCIPLE #2: PROMOTE HEALTHY NORMS: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

17 Promoting Healthy Norms Decreases the likelihood of victim-blaming Reminds us that tone and our level of comfort matters Doesn t sensationalize or rewrite other people s narratives Allows us to name things and have good conversations with people Helps us to notice and celebrate change

18 Promoting Healthy Sexuality and Healthy Relationships Infusing the vision of sexual health in our community conversations through positive framing

19 Health Promotion Principle #3: Think about Positive Framing Sexual violence is an epidemic in our community and must be stopped. Everyone has a role in promoting healthy sexuality, interactions, and relationships. Consent is about partners not having to do things that make them uncomfortable. Consent lets people express what they want, like, need, and what gives them pleasure in a relationship.

20 Let s Practice: No one deserves to be assaulted. Everyone deserves to have safe, consensual sex. What we know about violence, is that it often gets worse over time. When relationships are healthy, all people in the relationship feel safe, all people feel supported, and all people feel respected.

21 Supporting advocacy efforts with prevention principles Why did they stay? What happens when people ask this question? Why did they hurt them? What happens when people ask this question?

22 Think About How can you model healthy boundaries, healthy relationships, and healthy communication in your advocacy work? How can you work to undo harmful norms and stereotypes in your advocacy work?

23 What can you do to incorporate these prevention principles into your advocacy work? Your materials: Do they use positive framing? Are they comprehensive? Do you have materials that meet the needs of all members of your communities? Your conversations: Are you using language that promotes healthy norms? Are providing resources and information to everyone who enters (including participant s kids) to help prevent future instances of violence? Do you have materials that provide comprehensive information?

24 What can you do to incorporate these prevention principles into your advocacy work? Modeling positive behaviors: Are you modeling healthy behaviors? Modeling healthy relationships? Modeling an anti-oppression framework, including acknowledging when you say or do something that may be oppressive. Your presence: Are you present in your communities and your communities events? Do you model any bystander intervention? Do you acknowledge when you have power, that others maybe don t have and adjust accordingly?

25

26 Prevention through Teamwork Sexual violence is preventable, and everyone has a role and a responsibility in preventing it. What is your role?

27 Violence is preventable. How does this influence our approach to programming? Health Promotion is violence Prevention. What does this mean? What does health promotion look like? Why might it be an effective way of preventing violence? Oppression is the root cause of violence. How does this inform the way we talk about violence and approach its prevention? Think about these KEY THEMES How can you bring these back to your organization to promote and enhance your advocacy efforts?
