We CAN combat sexual violence through early youth intervention.
For Boys and Young Men
All young men, Native and non, are invited to to participate in our social media campaign, which aims to stop derogatory and degrading behavior towards women and girls over social media outlets.
Young men and youth will also be given the tools and resources to form support groups and clubs clubs led by males in the community who provide guidance, mentorship and fellowship to younger males. Cultural and traditional elements are incorporated in club curriculum for Native American youth, with a focus on Lakota values and the sanctity of respectful relationships.
For Girls and Young Women
PROJECT RESPECT.ORG aims to encourage women and girls to explore that concept of "reproductive justice"- which we define as the complete physical, mental, spiritual, political, economic, and social well-being of women and girls, and will be achieved when women and girls have the economic, social and political power and resources to make healthy decisions about their bodies, sexuality and reproduction for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Because girls and women of color are often denied the economic and social resources to make reproductive justice a reality, PROJECT RESPECT.ORG will provide education and positive outlets through writing, art, community service and other venues to make their empowerment a reality.
