Question 3

In a paragraph,discuss how we can reduce gender-based aggression following the discussion in the textbook.Provide examples.

Accepted Answer

Answers will vary.One strategy is to create an environment in which those who have been victimized or exploited feel empowered to speak up,know that their words will be heeded,and receive support from their employers and industries.For example,the Time's Up movement set up a legal defense fund to support those who have been victimized by workplace sexual harassment.Another example is the Green Dot Bystander program at the University of Kentucky.This program shows students how to intervene and defuse the situation if they see an uncomfortable or potentially violent interaction on campus.Another strategy is to change male students' beliefs about sexual violence and entitlement.For instance,Saint Anselm College in Manchester,New Hampshire,enlisted former NFL player and Heisman Trophy runner-up Don McPherson to talk to campus football players about sexual and domestic violence.Another example is the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association)implementation of policy requiring coaches and student-athletes to undergo annual training in sexual violence prevention.
