SUMMARY:Denormalizing Rape Culture: A Public Event by HopeWorks' Youth Leadership Program
DESCRIPTION:February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. Dating violence is more common than people think\, especially among teens and young adults: In the U.S.\, one in three teens experience physical\, sexual\, or emotional abuse when in a relationship. \nTo bring awareness to the ways we “normalize” dating violence in our day-to-day lives and conversations\, HopeWorks’ Youth Leadership Cohort is proud to present: \nDenormalizing Rape Culture: A Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month Event. \nThis teen-led workshop is designed to inspire and empower young people to foster healthy\, respectful\, supportive\, fun\, and safe relationships. Through interactive activity and discussion\, participants will explore what is means to build connections based on open communication\, trust\, respect\, and equality – while also identifying and addressing signs of unhealthy and abusive behaviors. This workshop is a safe space for teens to work together to learn more about relationships\, whether it’s romantic\, platonic\, or familial. \nThis event is led BY teens\, FOR teens!
