Prevention of domestic and sexual abuse is an important part of Susan B. Anthony Project’s mission.

Every day, our community educators are in schools teaching children:

• How to resolves conflicts without hitting
• That it is not okay to tease and bully
• That there’s a big difference between joking and sexual harassment
• When you’re in a healthy relationship, one person does not have power and control over the other person
• Cyber-bullying--using phones, computers, and social networking to stalk, harass, monitor, and control another person
— is not acceptable

Middle school students’ comments after a presentation on popularity and bullying:

“You’re changing the way people around here think. People have been talking about it all day. I couldn’t wait to get to class to check it out.”

“I liked the presentation because I learned a lot about respecting.

I learned not to bully and not to worry about popularity. This will be useful to me in the future because of the way I treat others and make friends.”

A high school student’s comment after a presentation on self esteem:

“I learned to love myself and to love others for who they are.”

Last year, 4,463 children in 42 schools participated in SBAP prevention programs.
