Description
"Girls Flip the Script" with EAAA is a 12 hour research based interactive education program designed to give self-identified female youth (14-18) knowledge, skills, and confidence to help them effectively resist sexual assault in a way that does not limit their personal freedom/choices or hold them responsible for sexual assault. The program teaches girls to recognize and acknowledge risk for sexual assault, particularly from acquaintances, to overcome the emotional barriers to resisting guys we know and may really like, to build a toolbox of effective verbal and physical self-defense strategies, and gives them an opportunity to explore their own sexual and relationship values and desires, all while building their confidence to trust themselves. Lunch, snacks and relatable peer facilitator included. Participants can also gain 12 volunteer hours from the North Shore Women's Centre.
