The Future
Game On
In April 2018, for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we will
launch our new video entitled ‘GAME ON.’ The short will
follow Jamie and her high-school friends through an aftergame party. Jamie will score ‘points’ (depicted by animation
overlay) for every intervention throughout the evening.
The evening will present 4 different scenarios/opportunities
for her to intervene or distract in an escalating situation
that could lead to a potential assault. Her friend group is all
high-school aged and depict diversity of gender, sexual
identity, and ethnicity. Our heroine will get each of them
home safely and teach the audience valuable, practical, every
day ways to intervene in common situations.
Bae Code Blog
In collaboration with the release of "Game On," we will be
introducing our new blog where we will collect and curate
stories of bystander interventions. It will consist of
positive examples of the ways people have intervened to get
someone safely out of questionable situations.
Legislative Lobbying
SafeBAE will be working with state legislators to help
support the introduction of and lobbying for mandated
consent education in secondary schools.
We have already testified in support of Rhode Island House
Bill 2018 7044 and will be working with Senator McClellan
to see Virginia Senate Bill SB 101 through to the end.
3 out of 4 high school girls reported being sexually
