Welcome to Project Respect

We have a right to Sexuality without Violence!

Sexualized violence is a reality in the lives of too many teens. We want to create a world where sexualized violence doesn’t happen. We want to create a world based on respect.

Project Respect is a group of youth and adults who work together to prevent sexualized violence and promote respect as the organizing principle of all relationships. We strive to create awareness of the issue of sexualized violence beginning with encouraging critical thinking about its root causes - gender stereotypes, power imbalances, and miscommunication. We do lots of stuff in our community to raise awareness and promote everyone's right to a sexuality without violence.

We invite you to check out our website. Here you'll find information about Project Respect and the programs that we offer as well as information about sexualized violence geared to youth ages 14 and up. You will find statistics, definitions, resources, action guides, and much more to help you educate yourself and join the respect revolution! We also have links for youth and their friends or family who are looking for support and healing after surviving an assault. We encourage adults to browse this site and talk to youth in their lives about the issues here.

Join the Respect Revolution.

We want to hear from you. Your ideas, thoughts, comments. Contact us!
