Program Summary |
To the average student, the definitions of date rape and sexual assault are notoriously unclear. Use this program to eliminate the confusion so young adults understand exactly what these things are -- and the attitudes and biases that typically accompany them -- before anyone gets hurt. The video firmly reinforces the concepts that rape has its roots in hate crime; date rape is just as wrong as rape by a stranger; a victim is never "asking for it," no matter how the person dresses. The video also underscores the rules of the dating game: a date is not an invitation for sex; No means no; and the inability to give consent doesn't mean "yes". Interviews with rape survivors and mental health professionals shed additional light on the trauma caused by rape, the process of post-rape emotional recovery, and the importance of post-rape support by family and friends. Date rape drugs are given special attention, and tips on safer dating are provided. A viewable/printable instructor's guide is available online. |
