What role can the community play in helping support victims of sexual assault or partner violence?

get involved

According to an article on "Campus Safety", Dr. Curt Brungardt urges men to step up.

As well as, "Start a conversation on campus about these topics with other men".

One thing he states is "Stop participating in a culture that devalues women, including behavior and language"

encourage them to speak out/ encourage and listen to them when they speak out

men often hide their experiences because of the way society is, encourage breaking the barrier and standards society sets.

conclusion

The community needs to get involved in this issue. There are many things that the community can do to support these victims. Raising awareness and educating from junior high through high school would help tremendously according to "Campus Safety" and "National Eating Disorders Association". Getting involved in support groups and encouraging people to speak out are other ways the community can help. Overall, there are many roles the community can play, so, where will people start?

educate at a young age

According to an article by "Campus Safety", the earlier we educate, the deeper the understanding will be of what consent and self respect means.

Scott Berkowitz says "Like any discipline, the earlier you learn, the more you will learn and change behaviors" in "Why Men Need to Talk About Gender-Based Violence" on "Campus Safety". (Education)

bring awareness

According to an article by National Eating Disorders Association, the founder of RAINN (Rape and Abuse, Incest National Network), Scott Berkowitz states that "One simple way is to share RAINN's hotline (online.rainn.org) with a loved one"
