A drop-in workshop that discusses what true consent means, signs of a healthy vs. unhealthy relationship, and why the ‘Bro Code’, an unspoken playbook men are expected to learn through adolescence, is inherently problematic. (This workshop is often taken third, however it can be completed at any point as an individual session or as part of the certificate).
Do you have women in your life? Mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, classmates? By age 18, 1 in 3 women will have experienced some form of sexual harassment/assault. As society learns more about the causes, both direct causes such as breaking consent, and indirect causes like systems that benefit men and blame victims/survivors for what happened to them, it’s important to learn about these causes and how you can contribute to preventing them. It’s not just to show the people around you that you want them to lead a life free of gender-based violence and the many barriers it creates, but it also shows future employers that you’ve invested in equity work – one more way to set your resume apart of the rest of the crowd. Please note: This certificate is available to male identifying participants only.
