Everyone can make a difference!
Not everyone has the time to volunteer or the funds to donate, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make a difference.
Here are some ways to align yourself with SSAIC’s philosophy:
- Educate yourself about consent
- Learn how to best support survivors of sexual violence
- Learn about rape myths and correct misperceptions when they come up in your daily life
- Choose not to support pop culture or jokes that glamourize sexual violence or promote violence against women
- Learn about gender stereotypes and the culture of toxic masculinity that contribute to rape culture
- Be aware of the ways that news and popular media representations of sexual assault perpetuate rape myths and promote victim blaming
- Understand the barriers to reporting sexual assault
- Educate yourself about the realities of human trafficking in Canada
- Learn about the issues sex workers face and support legislation to protect sex workers in Canada
- Email your local MLA and/or the Saskatchewan Minister of Justice and tell them you support increased funding for SSAIC and other services for survivors of sexual assault
- Like us on Facebook or Twitter and share our information with your friends
