This is an educational program for the prevention of sexual violence aimed at high school and college students. The aim is to reduce sexual violence in schools and universities by raising awareness of the signs of sexual violence, identifying sexual aggressors, and promoting reporting by witnesses of sexual violence, as well as direct intervention to stop the aggression whenever possible.
The program also encourages students to foster a proactive attitude against sexual violence among their peers with the intention of boosting a new culture in the school community.
The intervention consists of two phases:
1) A 50-minute motivational talk for students, teachers, and other staff members focusing on engagement in sexual violence prevention; and
2) Training in intervention techniques in situations where an attitude of sexual violence is witnessed. Students are divided into small groups and taught how to identify those situations and apply proactive behavior.
