VALOR Conversations
by VALOR Media
Sexual violence is not inevitable, or a logical outcome- it is preventable. Each one of us has the power to take small, yet impactful steps to address and change our behavior in order to impact our communities and society at large. These conditions can stem from inequities in our communities and behaviors that we are taught. Although these behaviors may not be clear at first, we can begin to understand their impact, question them, and ultimately change. Join the team at ValorUS in conversation with leaders, change agents, and advocates at Rape Crisis Centers in California who are advancing the issue of sexual violence in our communities and reminding us that collectively, we can work towards building a safer and more inclusive future for us all.
