https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/04/health/child-sex-abuse-emergency-department-study/index.html that shows that children are being seen and treated for child sexual abuse at higher and higher rates (and on the increase)! We, as providers, need to know how to address these issues and feel comfortable doing so!

This is a really cool article about how Britain is working to reduce incidence of violence against women using programs that have been shown to be effective both in the U.S. and the U.K. and also in certain countries in Africa!
Jackson Katz: “Violence against women is a men’s issue”. Jackson Katz is a sociologist specializing in gendered crimes. His tabletop exercise on the different ways men and women avoid sexual assault is one of my favorite icebreakers in the classroom!
