Gender-Based Violence

Our anti-violence movement must be intersectional!

That’s a common sentiment when it comes to talking about sexual violence and consent culture. As mentioned in my story, I have for the last 11 years I have strived to build a society where consent culture in the norm. I didn’t do it alone of course, I have worked with many amazing radical feminists within the anti-sexual violence movement. Over the years  I have trained over 25,000 people and worked with over 100 organizations on the subjects of consent,sexual violence and bystander intervention. 

Here is a list of organizations that I have recently worked with in the last 6 months:

• LGBT Youthline 

• University of Toronto

• Humber College

• Bricks and Glitter 

• USNOW Hamilton

• Kwartha Sexual Assault Centre 

• Sexual Assault Centre Hamilton Area (SACHA)

• Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women 

• Learning VAW Network

The entry point of my work is INTERSECTIONAL and POLITICAL by nature. 

I have chosen to center the voices of Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color in my work. When I get called on to give presentations or speaks, I will often center those voices in the conversation, activities and theory that I present. So to sum it up here are the subjects that I can speak to:

• Building Consent Culture in the Workplace

• Sexual Violence and Intersectionality

• Immigrant and Refugee Women's Experiences

• LGBTQ Experiences & Sexual Violence

• Bystander Intervention

• Thinking Beyond Mainstream Responses to Sexual Violence

• Healing Centred Engagement and Gender Based Violence Practices

• Anti-Black Racism and Sexual Violence

• Pleasure and Consent

• Transformative Justice and Healing
