Awareness Talks
“Awareness Talks” is an initiative of the Jes Foord Foundation that speaks out on behalf of all those who have been victims of rape, and seeks to remove the stigma attached to rape by making it an open conversation. These talks are greatly inclusive, are age appropriate and are given in English and Zulu in Durban and all over South Africa. Although rape is a very sensitive topic and can be triggering to survivors, making it part of normal conversation (but by no means normalizing it), allows for progress to be made. In addition, our Awareness Talks are meant to serve as a preventative tool in reducing secondary trauma and preventing these incidents from happening as much as possible.
TOPICS COVERED:
- Knowing your rights
- What is rape
- What is consent
- Using your voice as a tool of self defense
- No means No
- What to do if you are raped
- The importance of counselling
- Thuthuzela Centres and the facilities available to survivors
