Report On MN Summit To Prevent Sexual Violence

I encourage everyone to check out the e-report on the Minnesota Summit to Prevent Sexual Violence.

From the main page:

This electronic report contains text summaries, audio recordings, and videos from MNCASA’s Minnesota Summit to Prevent Sexual Violence held in St. Paul, December 3-4, 2009. This report is designed not only to bring you an experience of The Minnesota Summit, but also to provide ideas and resources for leading prevention initiatives in your spheres of influence (see Resources and Tools).

Select the segment you’d like to view by clicking on the title boxes above. Following each summary of a Summit presentation, you’ll find a link to the audio or video recording of that presentation via PreventConnect. Audio recordings are all full-text. All other videos can be accessed directly by pressing the play arrow on the screen.

This e-report is such a wonderful resource and highlights a groundbreaking approach to the primary prevention of sexual violence.

True prevention is possible and is so much better than focusing on the actions of potential victims. We must remember that the problem is not the so-called risky behavior of victims or potential victims. The problem is the behavior and thinking of those who commit sexual violence or who are at risk of committing sexual violence.
