Flip the Script with EAAA
The Flip the Script with EAAA™ Program is a 12-hour sexual violence resistance education program that aims to empower young women to recognize and advocate for consenting and fulfilling relationships, identify risks of sexual assault and cues of coercive behavior, and build confidence in defending themselves verbally and physically in situations of sexual violence.
This program will be on February 9 and February 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m each day.
Through group discussions, workshop activities, and lessons in physical self-defense, the program aims to provide women with effective tools for understanding their rights and overcoming obstacles to acknowledging risk and defending themselves.
The EAAA program is open to students under the age of 26 of all sexual identities who identify as women or non-binary but are comfortable being in a space that centers women’s experiences, and specifically, the social norms that young women face.
If you are interested and would like to register to participate in the EAAA program, please fill out the registration form here. With questions and for more information, please contact Jensen Williams, S&GBV Education Coordinator and EAAA Campus Trainer at sveducation@uoguelph.ca
