Waypoint Talks presents “Beyond Bystanders: Transforming gender-based and sexual violence prevention through embedded intervention”
Rebecca Rappeport, Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Community Outreach and Student Support Worker from Queen’s University discusses how moving beyond traditional bystander interventions can foster lasting, cultural and institutional change.
“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.” A quote by Angela Davis that truly resonates with Rebecca.
Intimate partner violence and gender-based violence are often seen as inevitable. However, doing work around prevention and support can help to create changes in awareness, leading to effective changes in laws and policies. This is key to changing the narrative so that people understand intimate partner, and gender-based violence is NOT inevitable.
