A Safe Space
We hope through CERC we can foster a healthy and productive dialogue about rape culture, sexual violence and gender biased violence. This group is designed as a healing space for survivors, being conscious of triggering topics. Oppressive intolerance is not welcome, nor shaming or victim blaming. Always be mindful that this is a safe and confidential space for survivors of sexual violence. We will always include a "Trigger Warning" or "Content Warning" on articles or posts that could be triggering for survivors.
