Here are a few actions you can take on a personal and community level to create a safer world for your daughters, sisters, mother, partner, friends and co-workers – a world free from violence.

Personal level:
Refrain from blaming victims of sexual assault, rape, domestic abuse and dating violence
Hold friends accountable when their language or behavior disrespects women and girls

Community level:
Ask your workplace what guidelines they have in place to deal with domestic/dating violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment and stalking
Affirm your child/grandchild’s sport team supports a positive, respectful and non-violent team culture – and related rules are communicated, enforced and non-negotiable

For men, specifically:
Show YOUR strength by speaking up to men who are using THEIR strength for hurting
Refrain from supporting businesses and purchasing items that disrespect, objectify or demean women and girls
