Beyond Information: Cultivating Moral Courage for Gender-Based Violence Leadership Training

About

This training goes beyond information dissemination and instead focuses on cultivating moral courage among new generations of fraternity and sorority leaders in engaging in survivor-centered practices and creating survivor-centered spaces. The training acknowledges the emotional difficulties facing student leaders in creating survivor-centered spaces and provides them with useful tools. It stresses the need to adopt a system of accountability agreed upon by members of the community and to rethink holding each other accountability as the process of relationship-building.
