Yes! Yes! Yes! Using Sex Positivity to Inform Violence Prevention Strategies
The cat is out of the bag - young people know that people have sex for reasons other than making babies. Many adults are challenged when addressing sexual health topics outside of a reproduction framework. However, sexual violence prevention requires that we recognize pleasure, interpersonal dynamics, and consent. In this workshop, we will create the linkages between sex positivity, violence prevention strategies, and trauma-informed approaches; and how to incorporate sex positivity and consent into conversations with young people and others.
