Join Taylor Demetrioff (he/him) for this final session from the White Ribbon campaign on allyship and consent.

Building on past sessions focused on healthy masculinities and increasing caregivers' capacities to prevent sexual exploitation, this session will focus on creating solidarity with those most likely to experience gender based violence and encourage participants to think about consent in a variety of contexts.

This workshop builds the capacity of participants to grow consent culture in their communities and effectively speak out when they see or hear violence. Participants will identify ways of challenging toxic masculinity and of promoting healthy relationships as well as a positive sense of self.
