Girls Resist

As part of PREVNet’s Community of Practice Addressing Youth Dating Violence, the University of Windsor Girls Resist project worked to implement and evaluate an adaptation of Flip the Script with EAAA(TM) (an evidence-based sexual violence resistance intervention to help women in university effectively resist sexual coercion and assault without restricting their freedom) for teen girls.

This is the story of Girls Resist.

PREVNet is located at the University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta. We acknowledge and pay tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

PREVNet works to eliminate violence and promote healthy relationships for youth and is dedicated to working toward addressing the systemic racism and the impacts of colonization that puts marginalized groups at higher risks of violence. PREVNet believes it is our collective responsibility to listen, learn, and act to ensure the rights of Indigenous people are recognized and implemented.
