Drew Crecente (they/them)<p>No, Mr. President — Sexual Violence Isn’t an Immigration Issue </p><p>"When I read President Trump’s proclamation for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, my jaw dropped. On one hand, after he failed to recognize Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month in February, it was positive to see any recognition at all.</p><p>"On the other . . . it felt more like I was reading a tirade against immigrants rather than an acknowledgment that sexual assault continues to be a prevalent issue on an international scale. It’s hard to watch Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month be used not to center survivors, but to push a political narrative that misplaces blame and distracts from the root causes of violence.</p><p>🌐 <a href="https://consent.games/no-mr-president-sexual-violence-isnt-an-immigration-issue/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">consent.games/no-mr-president-</span><span class="invisible">sexual-violence-isnt-an-immigration-issue/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://games.ngo/tags/SAAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SAAM</span></a> <a href="https://games.ngo/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://games.ngo/tags/prevention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prevention</span></a> <a href="https://games.ngo/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/publichealth" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>publichealth</span></a></span></p>

Margot Déage: "A girl who does not belong to a boy or a man can fall into the category of whore at any time, whatever her clothes or sexual practices."

Margot Déage: "Being in a position to say who’s a whore and who’s a good girl is a power in itself within the girls’ group, a power that is strongly mobilised by certain girls. The ones who can fall, in general, are the hardest on the matter."

Rough contact and impact peak around the age of seven. This is gradually replaced by peer monitoring in the years that follow.

Isabelle Clair: "Adolescence is a very normative age. At middle school, "there's a very tough relationship to what's the right thing to do".

Margot Déage: "Physical violence is much more prevalent in elementary/primary school, then decreases in middle school, and progressively through high school."

📚 The 2021 YRBSS (Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System) survey results were released by the CDC today.

⭐ Although it's great to see that bullying #s continue to decrease, it is frustrating that all other forms of violence are on the increase.

This is not at all surprising: schools / parents / govt are far more honest with themselves about bullying and its dangers than they are about IPV.

😞 Funding for dating violence and sexual violence is dangerously and shamefully inconsistent.

▪️ Poor mental health and suicidal ideation are on the increase for most youth groups.

▪️ 11% of high school students experienced sexual violence within the past 12 mos.

▪️ % of female students experiencing sexual violence has increased from 2017 to 2021.

A chart from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) 2011-2021 showing the change in percentage of high school students experiencing violence. The top row shows "The Percentage of High School Students Who*" followed by columns with odd years from 2011 through 2021. The final column indicates "Trend". Each row has a question that was asked of high school students followed by the percent of students affected for that year. The last column has a trend indicator showing if the data is going: "In Wrong Direction" (Wrong), "No Change"(NC), and "In Right Direction" (Right). The rows from top-to-bottom are: "Were threatened or injured with a weapon at school" and the #s range from 6-7% with a trend of "NC". "Did not go to school because of safety concerns" and the #s range from 6-9% with a trend of "Wrong". "Were electronically bullied" and the #s range from 15-16% with a trend of "NC". "Were bullied at school" and the #s range from 20-15% with a trend of "Right". "Were ever forced to have sex" and the #s range from 7-8% with a trend of "NC". "Experienced sexual violence by anyone(1)" and the #s range from 10-11% with a trend of "Wrong". *For complete wording of YRBS questions, refer to the appendix. (1)Variable introduced in 2017.
