Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Hello, 

An intern in my office is putting together a violence prevention 101 powerpoint session for us to use in training with student groups. She is looking for specific, concrete examples of "bad" programming, or programming that can do harm, or programming that could easily go wrong that she can share in the presentation to help students think critically about what's concerning about the example program and how it might be improved. She's already included info about the 9 principles of prevention, trauma informed, etc.--so we're really just looking for examples of things NOT to do.

The example I gave her is one I frequently get requested from undergraduate resident assistants:  "Let's have a social event, not advertise the event as sexual assault prevention education, and then while people are dancing and eating/drinking, drop skittles in their drinks to show them how easy it is to be roofied."  I've already searched these listservs and couldn't find any list of examples like this, so I appreciate any examples you can provide!

Thanks, 

Amy
