We've teamed up with @ORDeptEd to introduce the #Oregon Sexual Violence Prevention Resource Map to help communities in Oregon assess factors that can increase the risk of sexual violence and reduce perpetration of sexual violence among adolescents: ow.ly/vztz50kdLJO
@ORDeptEd According to the data obtained by the #Oregon Healthy #Teens Survey, 1 in 8 students, 1 in 5 female students and 1 in 5 youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender reported they were pressured to engage in non-consensual sexual activity.
@ORDeptEd “We hope this set of tools helps begin/continue a discussion in schools & communities about the importance of sex education & encourages schools to actively engage in these conversations,” - Laura Chisholm, interim manager, Injury and Violence Prevention Program at OHA
@ORDeptEd “Providing sex education that teaches #healthy relationships and healthy sexuality is one fundamental way that schools, #parents, caregivers and communities can make a difference,” - Laura Chisholm, interim manager of the Injury and Violence Prevention Program at OHA
@ORDeptEd For additional resources and strategies to help communities and states sharpen their focus on prevention activities to reduce sexual violence and its consequences: bit.ly/2a5YjNc
