FRAMEWORK AND ISSUES
Our framework centers around {sexual} violence prevention.
TW!O uses a public health model concentrating on primordial and primary prevention approaches to end sexual violence. We recognize sexual violence prevention as a public health issue that intersects with many other social justice issues. Our focus is on addressing systematic and institutional change by advocating for the following issues:
-
perpetrator interventions (specifically organizational and government sanctioned perpetrators)
-
gender justice (including eradicating gender-based violence and discrimination)
-
rights of sex workers
-
rights of young people
-
sexual expression
-
comprehensive sex education
