Education, Prevention, and Training
Creating and maintaining a culture of sexual and relationship respect involves continually educating ourselves on consent, healthy relationships, laws and policy, the root causes of violence, as well as what we can do to prevent harm from occurring.
What Could I Be Doing? Studies show that in emergency situations most people want to help, but few actually do. This video, created by NYU students and alumni, shows how you can intervene.
