Today I marked an essay from a Gr. 7 girl who argued that honesty isn't always the best policy...because sometimes you have to lie to boys...because sometimes boys get mad and kill girls who won't go out with them but will go out with another boy #savesexed #genderbasedviolence

Attending a Possibility Seeds webinar today on supporting the needs of international students to #End GBV. Speakers Melanie Crudgington & Kate Parnell point out that there are unique intersecting issues to prevent & address GBV experienced by intn'l students #EndGBVonCampus

Programming and outreach to #EndGBV on campus for intn'l students need to consider language and that intn'l students may be English Language Learners. Students may not feel comfortable seeking support when they experience violence.

Supports for international students following GBV needs to consider that understanding sexual violence beyond notions of 'rape' may be limited. This points to how more education is needed campus-wide to discuss the grey areas of consent and harm. #EndGBV

The main reasons that international students are hesitant to access services after GBV on campus include shame, language barriers, privacy, & embarrassment. Programming & services must adapt to break down these barriers. #EndGBV #Consent

Intn'l students from conservative or religious backgrounds had less sexual health info & knowledge around GBV. Culturally relevant programming will recognize this & offer many different outreach efforts that speak to a diversity of challenges with seeking support #EndGBV

Intn'l students may fear that their VISA will be revoked or that they'll be removed from their program because of a #GBV complaint. #EndGBV #EndRapeOnCampus

Strong mind-body reactions to C19 makes sense but, for some, the more destabilizing responses come from a history of interpersonal & structural violence. For survivors, the emotional impacts of C19 are compounded. #EndGBV #TraumaInformed

Legislation to ban conversion therapy needs to include trans and gender diverse people. Thank you for the work you’re doing to see this happen @CGSHEquity! Just signed the open letter. #EndCTForAll

When I cannot focus on writing because of C19 I've been learning to create a website (kudos to web developers, it's not easy). I'm proud to publish my site today. There's "Resources on GBV, trauma, & COVID-19" for those interested!✨jessica-wright.ca #AcdemicChatter #EndGBV

Gender reveal parties are transphobic, and the way that they are also simultaneously destroying the land is deeply colonial.

We need to do better.

I'm thrilled to share a blog I wrote for the national initiative to #EndGBV on Canadian campuses. I share findings from my PhD research on youth trauma survivors & #consent, & offer a practical tool for implementing #traumainformed consent education tinyurl.com/y4jh7uyq

MUST WATCH Dr. Michael Warner walks us through the story of one patient. A woman in her 40s who got Covid. Earlier today he fought to save her life. But before the day ended Covid stole her from us. Please listen to Michael Warner share his anger and heartbreak.

Danforth/Royal/DVP #BikeTO intersection installation happening now, continued from last night. Many months of work, approvals and coordination was required to make this seemingly simple change to improve safety for all road users.
