Educational Workshops

The rape crisis centers across Israel each have an Education Department which works to lessen the occurrence of sexual abuse and assault among youth in the country, as well as raise awareness on breaking the conspiracy of silence via workshops held in schools and various organizations. There is currently no space that allows youth to raise the issue of sexual abuse in an orderly and guided manner. The rape crisis centers try to respond to this need by providing educational workshops which create a safe space where youth can feel comfortable talking, sharing and expressing their thoughts and feelings on the issue. The workshops are run by experienced facilitators who underwent training at the rape crisis center. The workshops were built specially by the Education Coordinator of the center and are customized for each target population based on their needs and expectations.
