Education & Workshops
Shifting society through education, outreach, and activism
We believe that change happens when we come together.
Guided by our feminist, anti-oppressive, decolonizing approach, we offer training, workshops, and speaking events for teachers, service providers, professionals, students, and community groups.
Creating lasting change together
Join our workshops and training sessions to explore the systemic roots of sexualized violence, challenge oppressive systems, and build collective strategies to support survivors.
Participants in our workshops and training sessions gain the tools to:
Understand Sexualized Violence & Rape Culture
Gain clear insight into what sexualized violence is, and how it connects to power, control, and harmful beliefs.
Recognize Barriers Survivors Face
Learn about the real challenges survivors experience when seeking support, and how you can help remove these obstacles
Practice Survivor-Centred Support
Discover ways to prioritize survivors’ choices by using feminist, anti-oppressive, and decolonizing practices.
Navigate Legal & Criminal Systems
Understand sexual assault laws, consent, disclosure processes, and what meaningful justice and healing can look like for survivors.
Support Two-Spirit, Trans, Non-Binary, and Gender-Diverse Survivors
Services designed for cis-gender heterosexual women are not always right for trans and gender diverse people. Learn how to develop specific services that better meet the needs of Two-Spirit, trans, non-binary, and gender diverse people.
Resist Systems of Oppression
Learn practical steps we can collectively take to disrupt systems that harm individuals because of their gender, sexual orientation, race, and other identities.
