While Sexual Assault Awareness Month has come to an end, the need to spread awareness and advocate against sexual harassment, violence, and "rape culture" has not.
Here is a short list of resources shared among Peace Corps Morocco Volunteers and Moroccan peers throughout the month of April. Let's continue to stand up for respectful treatment of all persons, including ourselves, and challenge others to do the same each day.
On challenging the normalization of sexual harassment and assault:
On coping & self-care:
- How People Cope, from Yale's Sexual Harassment and Assault Response & Education center
On sexual harassment as a PCV in Morocco:
- Resources used to facilitate an after-hours session on sexual harassment at in-service training (IST) in March 2017, including proactive and reactive language (Darija) and coping mechanisms.
On how to advocate and educate at site:
- Breaking the Silence Toolkit, video and resources available in English, Arabic, and French
- Men as Partners Toolkit, available in English and Arabic
Know of other resources you'd like to add to this list? Have suggestions for how we can better support each other in dealing with harassment while at site?
Need an ear? Let us know.
