you can prevent sexual violence when you:

change it

You are the solution when you talk about sexual violence and take a stand against it.

Call out others when they make or laugh at sexist jokes;

Acknowledge that discriminatory behavior and language are connected to sexual violence; and

Spread the message throughout your community that sexual violence is never okay.

Keep learning about sexual violence, bring the problem up in conversations and challenge values that create unhealthy behaviors.

You can lead the change.

Each community has its own culture defined by a set of values, belief systems and behaviors. Consider examining the culture of your community to establish which values, beliefs and behaviors create space and tolerance for someone to commit sexual violence, and which ones prevent it. We can determine that our community will not tolerate sexual harassment, sexual assault and other forms of sexual. We can choose to celebrate respect, equality, civility, healthy relationships and healthy sexuality, and make sexual violence prevention the norm in our community.
