Survivor Ally
Survivor Ally is a two hour training that provides contemporary perspectives on terminology, the framework on the continuum of sexual violence, the complexity of disclosing, myths and facts of date rape culture, and the obstacles victims and survivors face when accessing resources. After the completion of the workshop, Survivor Allies will be able to integrate this knowledge and how to be an active bystander and ally to victims and survivors.
An ally is an individual with the awareness, knowledge, and/or skills to confront injustice and advocate for equality while supporting all persons, regardless of perceived or actual sexual identity, sexual expression, gender identity, and/or gender expression, who are experiencing discrimination. Survivor Allies are identified on campus by buttons, signs, and t-shirts that carry the official Survivor Ally logo. If you see this logo, the person displaying it has completed the official training, signed the commitment form, outside of external obligation or pressure, and is comfortable being a resource and connecting others to resources for the campus community.
