We dream of a world without sexual assault....
... and we're on our way to creating that world. SAVE -
Sexual Assault Voices of Edmonton - is a broad-based coalition comprised of educators,
NGO's, sexual assault counselors, the Edmonton Police Service, caring/invested businesses and
individuals who are committed to creating a safe community and city for
everyone. Our common goal is to reduce the incidences of sexual assaults by reaching those who are responsible: the perpetrators. Why?
Because sexual assault is a problem in our community. Every week, the Sexual
Assault Centres and police see people who are feeling confused, ashamed, and in
pain because they experienced sexual violence. We believe Edmonton
can be a leader for change.
What you can expect from us is a series of campaigns with the aim of educating the public to reduce the incidences of sexual violence. Through these campaigns we will raise awareness, challenge myths, fight victim-blaming, empower bystanders, and stand in solidarity with survivors. We see Edmonton as a community that is looking for a shift to one that that is about respecting one another. SAVE wants to be part of this change. The way that we think about and respond to sexual assault is evolving. And it's time.
The Don't Be That Guy campaign was created by SAVE, and launched November 22, 2010. Our second installation of posters was launched on November 30, 2012. Click here to see the posters and learn more about our campaigns.
