Our Philosophy and ApproachAt SARSSM, we believe that it is important to shift the responsibility of sexual violence prevention away from the expectation that individuals should keep themselves safe from harm. Instead, that responsibility belongs solely on the community and individuals who cause harm.
When we shift the responsibility of ending sexual violence to the entire community, we foster safer communities where everyone plays an important role in violence prevention. |
