A survivor-driven program on preventing and responding to sexual violence in middle and high schools across the country is coming to Arlington this weekend.
Arlington Public Schools is hosting the SafeBAE (Before Anyone Else) National Summit at Washington-Lee High School (1301 N. Stafford Street) this Saturday, Dec. 12 from 2-4 p.m.
SafeBAE is a virtual organization that is focused on students by raising awareness about sexual assault and educating them about their rights under Title IX to prevent dating violence. Its programs are designed to give students resources and skills to advocate for consent and safe relationship education.
During Saturday’s program, attendees will hear the stories of four students who were assaulted and how they now work with the organization toward social change. All of the speakers were victims of rape, some of whose stories made national news.
Other panelists include legal experts and members of the School Board.
The event is open to members of the APS community and their families. Tickets are free and available online, but donations are also accepted.
