Workshop Summary
Part One: Rape Culture & Our Realities
Part One aims to build foundational knowledge about rape culture and develop the participants’ ability to understand and put sexualized violence into our current socio-cultural context.
Learning outcomes:
- Develop a deeper understanding of sexualized violence and rape culture and how they show up in our society and in our work
- Unpack the impacts of rape culture on survivors and our diverse realities
- Explore how we can resist rape culture in our lives and in our work
Part Two: Feminist Support Skills
Part Two will lay the basics of feminist support skills and explore how participants can apply what they have learned in Part I to provide emotional support to survivors in their lives.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand the principles of feminist support and the five pillars of emotional support and identify how we may already be using feminist support skills
- Identify the impacts of sexualized violence on survivors and barriers they may face in accessing support
