End Sexual Violence, Shape Ohio Together
Apart, we can only do so much; together, we can do a lot more. Together we can make a difference in the movement. We can provide comprehensive, coordinated rape crisis services to survivors. We can emphasize primary prevention, including efforts to change social norms, behaviors, and practices to cultivate a community climate free from violence. There is power and strength in the collective.
How can we use what we learn to shape the future? How can we take our collective ideas and strengths and turn them into action? Can we shape legislation? Can we shape school policies? Can we shape ideas, beliefs, and misconceptions?
