January’s Watch Wednesday is dedicated to shining a light on something too often ignored: our attitude around (g)R@pe culture. This month, we’re highlighting films that challenge the harmful norms, silences, and attitudes that allow sexual violence to persist. By educating ourselves, listening to survivors, and understanding the systems that enable harm, we can take real steps toward creating safer communities. Ending sexual violence begins with awareness — and awareness begins with what we choose to watch, learn, and talk about together.

January is Stalking Awareness Month! Trauma Informed Tuesdays gives tips to staying safe when online and going out.

Keep locations and social media private, but tell loved ones where you are going to prevent unwanted people from following you, but keep others informed of where you are should something happen.

By changing your routines and travel routes, it provides inconsistency for those who may want to track you.

And who doesn't love the buddy system? When going out or traveling, invite a friend to tag along to provide extra awareness and support!
