SUMMARY:Webinar: Confidential Sexual Assault Services on Campus: Centering Marginalized Populations
DESCRIPTION:View Recorded Webinar \nSexism\, racism\, ableism\, and homophobia make people of color\, those with disabilities\, and trans individuals particularly susceptible to sexual violence. Experiences with institutionalized racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, and ableism may make it difficult for college students\, faculty\, or staff members from these marginalized populations to trust the campus support services designed to help them. \nIn order to adapt our system to the needs of these communities\, UW-La Crosse has designated staff from areas of campus that serve these populations as Confidential Resources for sexual violence. Due to barriers presented by athlete culture\, a Confidential Resource for student athletes is included. UWL Confidential Resources provide confidential support\, information and referrals to services to members of our campus community who seek assistance. The Confidential Resource Program resulted in a 10% increase in referrals from underserved populations in its first year of operation. \nPresented by:\n• A.J. Clauss\, Campus Climate Program Coordinator\n• Andrew Ives\, Student Services Specialist\n• Antoiwana Williams\, Director\, Office of Multicultural Student Services\n• Joel Luedtke\, Assistant Director\, Athletic Training\n• Will Vanroosenbeek\, Director of LGBTQA Services

SUMMARY:Regional Advocacy & Outreach Training - La Crosse
DESCRIPTION:Day 1 \nExercise Your Sexual Assault Advocacy Skills We commonly hear from SA advocates who don’t have opportunities to practice and improve their advocacy skills. This scenario-based training will allow advocates to practice their direct advocacy skills in a supportive environment. WCASA staff & volunteers will lead small-group simulations for advocates to practice in a variety of settings\, including a simulation with SANE. \nDay 2 \nBuild a Sexual Assault Outreach Plan With the increase in VOCA funding and SA staffing\, programs are looking for support to connect with primary sexual assault victims. This hands-on training will help advocates identify how to connect with sexual assault survivors and develop an outreach plan for the agency. *We strongly recommend programs send two staff to support plan development and implementation. \nSee full agenda

SUMMARY:Sexual Assault Victim Advocacy School (SAVAS)

Participants will have the opportunity to practice skills necessary to prove comprehensive advocacy for victims. New sexual assault advocates\, domestic violence victim advocates\, and other professionals who want to learn more information about sexual violence are encouraged to attend. \nThe class consists of an in-person component\, in addition to a series of sessions via webinar prior to and after the training.

SUMMARY:Denim Day
DESCRIPTION:Why Denim Day? \nIn the 1990s\, an 18 year old woman was raped by a 45 year old driving instructor. The perpetrator gets arrested and is prosecuted. He is convicted of rape and sentenced to jail but he appeals the sentence and wins in the Supreme Court. A symbolic gesture – an Italian court overturned a rape conviction due to the judges not believing that the victim had not consented to sexual contact since\, in their opinion\, her jeans were so tight the perpetrator could not have gotten them off without her assistance. Outraged\, the Italian Parliament protested by wearing jeans to work. \nSounds outrageous\, yet in Italy\, and all over the world\, women and men who are victims of sexual assault continue to be disbelieved and accused of causing the assault due to their behavior… or fashion sense. This has to stop. \nResources: \n\nFor more information about the international Denim Day movement\, visit http://denimdayinfo.org/.\nAlso see Denim Day Milwaukee\, a community-wide effort in Milwaukee to raise awareness of sexual assault through the Denim Day movement.\nVisit our Facebook page to learn more events across the state. We hope you can join one of them.\n\nIf you are planning an event in your community\, you are welcome to build from these resources: \n\nDownload Fillable Denim Day Flyer\nGet your Denim Day Toolkit!\nDenim Day logo
