With media and a lack of appropriate sex-ed education this is the reality many people face. Hopefully with the aim of ours (and many other) workshops we can put power of knowledge of consent and boundaries to keep this and the next generation safe.
We Can't Consent To This

If you have a moment this morning, please read new research on how horrifyingly normal violence in sex is. Then tell the Government they need to tackle this in their Violence Against Women & Girls strategy. Read wecantconsenttothis.uk/i-tho… Govt Survey ipsos.uk/VAWGsurvey

When someone violates your trust, how do you go about it? #askabadsubject

Cyan background and in white text "We wish! But unfortunately not. However, there are things you can look for. If you ask for accountability and they refuse to acknowledge that they harmed you, then that’s not okay.  If someone is unapologetically violating your trust – that’s also not okay. "

Cyan background and in white text, " Likewise, if it’s a pattern of behaviour - without working on it in ways you can see and they are accountable to – that’s not okay either. We all make mistakes, and most of us are really trying. We don’t need to be 100% perfect to be in intimate and important relationships. But we should try being in relationships that make us feel cared for and secure! Even if they didn’t mean to violate your trust and are apologetic, it’s okay to end the relationship. "

Cyan background and in white text, " It’s up to you – and you alone – where to hold your boundary in terms of hurt, harm, and trust in a relationship.  And it can be different with every person. Don’t let someone talk you into staying with them if you know in your heart it’s not a good idea, or that you can’t or don’t want to overcome what happened between you. It’s important to trust your own self, your intuition  and body!"

One of the best (and rarely asked) questions was raised in a sexual violence workshop I was facilitating this week "What do I do if I think I sexually assaulted someone?" We got to talk about accountability, moving away from shame, sexual health and getting help. More of this.

the "normalization of mental illness" as it's come to exist in 21st century infographic activism has not only been a colossal failure but is also a consistent, active detriment to the wellbeing of mentally ill people

We model and hand down to young men either a tradition of responsibility and being accountable, or a ritual of avoiding accountability. #DrawingMapsToManhood

If your org put out an anti-Black racism statement or a #BlackLivesMatter statement this summer: we saw you! it's time to commit more deeply. Sign the historic declaration to divest from policing and prisons and build safer communities for all. link: forms.gle/upNzeSqnLH9gCJfb6

Public health includes safe housing for all! Contact Mayor Tory and Deputy City Manager Giuliana Carbon to demand they stop fining and evicting homeless populations and start providing safe, affordable homes instead. Check ocap.ca for details.
