mission
SafeBAE is a student-focused, survivor-driven organization whose mission is to raise
awareness about sexual assault in middle and high schools and student rights under
Title IX. SafeBAE is focused on preventing dating violence and sexual assault by
giving students the tools to change peer culture, end harassing re-victimization, and
advocate for consent and safe relationship education.
goals
• Raise awareness about sexual assault in middle and high schools
• Provide information on student rights to be free from sexual violence under Title IX
• Promote education around consent and safe relationships in all secondary schools
• Engage all students to be a part of the solution using art, activism, and social media
• Provide students-survivors with information on their rights and options for justice
• Outreach to school boards across the country to ensure their understanding of
obligations under Title IX and provide them best practices for student codes of conduct
and department responses

SafeBAE programming is informed by an evidence based peer-to-peer
model. Peer education programs, including those regarding sexual
assault, have been found to be effective for starting dialogue,
improving students’ awareness, and changing attitudes and behaviors.
“I love that people who run this [program] are survivors of sexual assault and not just
people who are here to educate us on it. They can share their stories and educate others.” SafeBAE audience member
