Brave Spaces is a human-centered curriculum designed to engage and empower youth, specifically Latinx youth in preventing, identifying, and speaking against sexual violence. Brave Spaces will assist schools in creating a forum for meaningful discussion in which youth will engage with digital platforms, classroom discussions, peers, and facilitators as they learn about different forms of sexual violence, how to identify it when they see or experience it, and how to prevent it when they can. In Brave Spaces, youth are equipped with the knowledge and tools that can prevent and protect them against the silent pandemic of sexual violence and abuse. The program also involves parents, community partners, and medical and mental health agencies, taking a community approach to the care and education of our youth. 

Objective

To reduce the rate of sexual violence among school-aged children and adolescents by 50% over the next 20 years.
