Prevention Educators often get questions and comments along the lines of:
"Why are you teaching s*x education in Pre-K?" "I talk to my kids about stranger danger; they know how to be safe, so they don't need this." "S*x Education doesn't need to be taught at schools; that should be a conversation at home.", and many more surrounding the misconceptions of s*xual violence prevention.
In reality, education on body safety is essential and easy to understand for all ages when done appropriately!
We teach students from PreK-12th grade, starting with language that they already understand, such as the concept of permission, noticing when our bodies do not feel good, and talking to trusted adults.
Erin's Law is not s*x education. This law mandates that public schools teach about body safety and provides equal access to violence prevention to all students, especially in the case that a student may not be getting body safety education in their home life.
91% of survivors know their perpetrators, and 50% of s*xual assaults against minors occur in their own homes. Stranger Danger, while still important, teaches us that the most likely person to harm us is a stranger and does not prepare us for understanding what to do if abuse is happening from someone we know.

S*xual Assault can happen to anyone. Understanding the facts helps create safer workplaces and communities and makes it easier to support survivors. S*xual Assault is never the survivors fault.
