    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.  To find out more about coming together as a community to prevent sexual violence click here.
