Sexual Violence Prevention at Universities in NL

With respect to the current conditions Covid-19 has put all of our communities through, Stichting Out Bodies Our Voice has had to cancel all in-person workshops, trainings, and events until further notice. Typically, our projects are run from funds raised for workshops and training sessions delivered at universities. We are focusing and directing all of our resources towards online alternatives, so that we can continue to provide safer spaces to discuss sensitive and important topics, learn about survivor support, and inform everyone about help-seeking options within their area. Now more than ever, we need to stay connected and support each other through this difficult time. In order for us to continue our work, we need your help.

We understand that in this crisis, there are many urgent things that require your time, money, and energy. We want to stay strong in our commitment to improving social safety within universities, especially when difficult times arise. As a non-profit foundation, we need additional funding to pursue our mission towards sexual violence prevention and transforming the consent culture within our communities to create safer environments. We would be grateful for any contribution you can afford to spare during this time.

Your donations will help our organization on multiple levels: they will enable us to continue our student, staff, and student/study association workshops with both our current and new partnerships; help develop an online version of our next facilitator training for peer educators in Amsterdam; and allow us to continue our work so that campuses are prepared for the return of students.

If you cannot support us financially, even spreading the word, sharing our posts or website is monumentally helpful. Please do not hesitate to email us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Thank you for your time,

The OBOV Team
