Violence Against Women Prevention Program
(click here for the VAWPP page)
Grounded in a social justice and feminist perspective, the Violence Against Women
Prevention Program (VAWPP) is dedicated to addressing and preventing all forms of
sexual violence through education, outreach and advocacy. VAWPP workshops are
interactive discussions, facilitated by peers or professional staff, which explore
the entire continuum of gender violence, from media images to criminal behavior.
We emphasize a primary prevention approach that engages all stakeholders in the
campus community to examine their role in ending gender violence by addressing
its root causes in oppression.
Topics include:
- Power and Relationships
- Consent 101
- The War Zone
- Tough Guise: Violence, Media, and the Crisis in Masculinity
- Everyday Pornography

Diversity
This session seeks to explore participants' identities, and the myths,
stereotypes, and misinformation associated with different groups; to explore
the ways in which we benefit and are disadvantaged by our identities; and
how to be an ally when someone is being treated differently because of who
she/he is.
Sexual Harassment Prevention
This session seeks to initiate a dialogue on sexual harassment; to examine
the conditions which promote sexual harassment and discrimination; and to
develop strategies for responding to and preventing sexual harassment. The
workshop is interactive and asks participants to evaluate a variety of
situations that may or may not constitute sexual harassment and discuss
issues of climate through the use of case scenarios. The session also
details the definition of sexual harassment, a supervisor's responsibilities
and liabilities, and what to do if you are sexually harassed and the resources
available.
