SafeBAE 2019 annual report FINAL - Flipbook - Page 6
Program Overview
SafeBAE continues its commitment to disrupt
norms that children first experience throughout
their early development, in an effort to
counteract all contributing factors in rape
culture.
"Rogue" our Emotional Support Service Animal !
We believe in supporting and enhancing existing prevention
educational content that is available to teachers and grassroots
agencies, while also empowering students not to wait for the adults in
their lives to begin educating themselves and their peers. We are
survivors and activists, experts and educators, who believe that each
person can and should make a difference by challenging their
communities to do better, to be conscious consumers of media, and to
look at how we can improve the cultural norms that have set the stage
for sexual violence to take root. By merely breaking down the
concepts of consent, bystander intervention/distraction, how to
support survivors, and the things which contribute to rape culture,
we are able to shape the perspectives and practices of children BEFORE
media becomes their primary educator. Changing the way younger
teens view all of these concepts will have a ripple effect well into
their adulthood. SafeBAE’s intentions are clear: creating aware and
empowered young students – regardless of their gender, race, class,
age, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, ability, or
circumstance – changes the future for us all.
