Words matter.

For a moment let's look beyond Trump's nonsense tariff "plan" which is certain to cause global harms.

Please consider the words this abuser chose to use in defending the tariffs:

"our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered”

😡 I understand the economic damage is occupying everybody's thoughts but we must call Trump out for trivializing sexual assault in this way. Allowing these phrases to go unchallenged is harmful to survivors and affects public discourse / social norms.

💜 April is #SAAM (Sexual Assault Awareness Month) - please call out this sad excuse of a man for his mysogynistic, moronic, and ironic phrasing.

⭐ It's possible to address traumatizing topics without creating #trauma in the process.

🔁 Our free game ADRIFT is an example of that. The game is about #consent but is appropriate for all ages. It's a quick game so you can replay it if you don't get each scenario correct on the first try.

🖼️ It was even re-created for the MOD. museum in Australia.

💜 April is #SAAM.

Margot Déage: "A girl who does not belong to a boy or a man can fall into the category of whore at any time, whatever her clothes or sexual practices."

Margot Déage: "Being in a position to say who’s a whore and who’s a good girl is a power in itself within the girls’ group, a power that is strongly mobilised by certain girls. The ones who can fall, in general, are the hardest on the matter."

Rough contact and impact peak around the age of seven. This is gradually replaced by peer monitoring in the years that follow.

Isabelle Clair: "Adolescence is a very normative age. At middle school, "there's a very tough relationship to what's the right thing to do".

Margot Déage: "Physical violence is much more prevalent in elementary/primary school, then decreases in middle school, and progressively through high school."

📚 The 2021 YRBSS (Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System) survey results were released by the CDC today.

⭐ Although it's great to see that bullying #s continue to decrease, it is frustrating that all other forms of violence are on the increase.

This is not at all surprising: schools / parents / govt are far more honest with themselves about bullying and its dangers than they are about IPV.

😞 Funding for dating violence and sexual violence is dangerously and shamefully inconsistent.

▪️ Poor mental health and suicidal ideation are on the increase for most youth groups.

▪️ 11% of high school students experienced sexual violence within the past 12 mos.

▪️ % of female students experiencing sexual violence has increased from 2017 to 2021.

A chart from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) 2011-2021 showing the change in percentage of high school students experiencing violence. The top row shows "The Percentage of High School Students Who*" followed by columns with odd years from 2011 through 2021. The final column indicates "Trend". Each row has a question that was asked of high school students followed by the percent of students affected for that year. The last column has a trend indicator showing if the data is going: "In Wrong Direction" (Wrong), "No Change"(NC), and "In Right Direction" (Right). The rows from top-to-bottom are: "Were threatened or injured with a weapon at school" and the #s range from 6-7% with a trend of "NC". "Did not go to school because of safety concerns" and the #s range from 6-9% with a trend of "Wrong". "Were electronically bullied" and the #s range from 15-16% with a trend of "NC". "Were bullied at school" and the #s range from 20-15% with a trend of "Right". "Were ever forced to have sex" and the #s range from 7-8% with a trend of "NC". "Experienced sexual violence by anyone(1)" and the #s range from 10-11% with a trend of "Wrong". *For complete wording of YRBS questions, refer to the appendix. (1)Variable introduced in 2017.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

On our blog, Kayla Rodriguez shares her story as an autistic disabled Latina survivor, how marginalized people are more vulnerable to sexual assault, and how to prevent sexual assault:

Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network (AWN)An Autistic Woman’s Experience with Sexual Assault - Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network (AWN)April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Being a sexual assault survivor and disabled autistic Latina means I understand at a very personal level the connections between the discrimination my communities face, and how that makes people like me more vulnerable to sexual assault.

'Massachusetts can do a better job on sexual and relationship education'

Although the article applies to Massachusetts, this message applies to *all* states:

⭐ We must do a better job on teaching young people about healthy relationships and consent.

❤️ And a quick reminder: April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month #SAAM.

CommonWealth MagazineMass. can do a better job on sexual and relationship education - CommonWealth MagazineMASSACHUSETTS TEENS deserve to live healthy lives free from violence, but our public schools are failing them. As pediatricians, we see how the inadequacy of sex and relationship education in our schools puts children and teens at risk for sexual assault. We have cared for teens in our medical practices who have experienced sexual violence.(...)
