IMPACTS Supporting Newly-Launched 'Only Yes Means Yes' Project from West Coast Leaf
, one of the community partners of IMPACTS, has launched a project titled .听The overall objective of the聽Only Yes Means Yes聽project is to empower post-secondary students in British Columbia聽to聽challenge the culture of sexualized violence on campus and make informed decisions in their own lives through in-depth聽learning about the law of sexual assault and consent, through a critical social justice lens.
Only Yes Means Yes will pilot and deliver an interactive workshop about the legal dimensions of sexual assault and consent聽tailored to young adult participants on college and university campuses across British Columbia, and聽disseminate a related online education and advocacy tool (such as a series of images or a brief video) that聽can be shared by young adults on social media and across their networks. The purpose of the online聽resource is to increase awareness of the issue in individuals and on campus and to help shift the culture of聽sexualized violence by directly challenging rape myths and stereotypes.
Contributions from the聽聽and聽the IMPACTS Project are supporting the聽Only Yes Means Yes project. We at IMPACTS are proud to contribute to the Only Yes Means Yes project and are excited to see what West Coast Leaf accomplishes through this project.
