The United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, defines trafficking in persons as:

The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of threat or the use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.

NC ranked in the top 8 most common sites for HT

Page 15: Half skypresentation

US, S. Africa, Australia, #1

Of all US women killed, 1/3 by husband or boyfriend

Leading cause of death for pregnant women – murder by partner

In Iraq, US women serving are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire

School shootings, Amish community, PA gym, etc.

1 Million women raped in the US in 2008

500+ raped or attempted on our campus alone

1/3 of all campus couples have experienced at least one incidence of physical dating violence

Page 16: Half skypresentation

1 in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys are sexually abused as children

Risk factors for perpetration:• Association with

sexually aggressive and delinquent peers

• Hostility towards women

• Hypermasculinity• General tolerance of

sexual violence within the community

What is a bystander?

Someone who sees or hears something that either directly or indirectly could lead to an act of IPV

Page 23: Half skypresentation

Class Activity

Page 24: Half skypresentation

It’s free time in class and your students are pretending to be in an airplane. You overhear one of the girls saying she wants to be a co-pilot with one of the boys. Then you hear one of the boys say “only boys are pilots, girls have to be flight attendants.”

Airplane Scenario

Page 25: Half skypresentation

Activity

1.How does this scenario contribute to a rape culture?

2.Come up with 3 different ways in which you would intervene and/or respond to this scenario.

Page 26: Half skypresentation

While teaching class, several of the boys continually raise their hands to participate. While it is good that they are participating, you notice that if you call on one of the girls to respond, any time a girl speaks, one of the boys talks over her.

Page 28: Half skypresentation

Cultural factors and the environment LITERALLY can stop rape.

Someone doesn’t just start raping at 13 for no reason – something has gotten them there.

Important not just for issues of sexism, but ALL forms of oppression, i.e. homophobia, racism, and ablism.

Page 29: Half skypresentation

Factors that increase a bystanders willingness to intervene

1. Bystander is able to recognize that there is a problem2. They are directly asked to intervene3. The perceived costs are lower than the perceived

benefits4. They have role models that use this method and the

social pressure is encouraging them to intervene5. They feel confident in their skills to intervene6. Diffusion of responsibility – in other words the less

people there are the more likely they can be to intervene – studies show that the more bystanders, the slower one is to act because they think someone else will intervene.
