Our Social Justice Team wants to direct your attention to is an information session at the North Shore Women’s Centre called “Flip The Script Community Info Session”. This interactive session helps adults learn about an evidence-based sexual assault prevention training for high-school aged girls. It takes place 7-9pm on Thursday, May 2nd at the North Shore Women’s Centre (131 East 2nd Street in North Vancouver).

If you have children or grandchildren who are teenage girls, this is a game changer!!!

The Flip the Script with EAAA™ program is a sexual assault resistance education program for young women that has been researched* and shown to decrease the likelihood of experiencing sexual assault in the future. Learn more about the program HERE. This program is about resistance not prevention. Women can’t prevent someone from trying to harm them, but the research shows that women can fight back when given the right tools.

Prevention is a goal that requires active involvement from the community and social change. We know that social change takes time. But we also need short term solutions that can make an immediate difference in the lives of women on campus - and that’s the goal of resistance education.

It’s time to Flip the Script. You can make a difference in the lives of young women you care about!

*NOTE: The Flip the Script with EAAA™ program was evaluated with a randomized controlled trial (the SARE Trial) and the results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Research showed that women who took the Enhanced Assess, Acknowledge, Act (EAAA) program experienced a 46% reduction in completed rape and a 63% reduction in attempted rape in the following year compared to those in the control group. Other forms of sexual violence such as non-consensual sexual contact were also significantly reduced.
