Flip the Script with EAAA™

Evidence-based gender violence prevention and healthy relationships

Flip the Script with EAAA™ is a 12-hour program for women aged 14-24 that cuts their risk of sexual violence by more than half (1). It was developed at the Sexual Assault Resistance Education Centre and is recognized by the Canadian Institute for Health Research and Blueprints for Healthy Youth.

How does it work?

The majority of sexual assaults against youth are perpetrated by fellow students, friends, acquaintances, or romantic partners. This skills-based program (developed by a social psychologist) teaches girls to counter coercive pressure and social expectations as well as physical force.

Uniquely, this program also contains a unit where girls learn about healthy versus exploitative relationships. They are invited to think privately about the types of physical intimacy they do and do not want. Pleasure, consent and coercion are inextricably linked - when you know what you want, you also know what you don’t want, and are better poised to assert yourself.

We want all women to have safe and healthy relationships, but many of us are unsure how to give them the skills they need. Flip the Script with EAAA™ teaches young women about the building blocks of healthy relationships, then helps them identify the physical intimacy they desire, so they can communicate their wishes and enforce their boundaries

Sexual Violence in Canada

In 2021, rising rates of sexual assault accounted for a 40% increase in the Violent Crime Severity Index (3). Even so, sexual assault remains vastly under-reported, and the 2018 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Places indicated that women only reported the most severe assault that they experienced, if they reported at all.

1 in 3 women will experience sexual assault in their lifetime, and more than 60% of British Columbians know a woman who has been sexually or physically assaulted. Every week, there are more than 1000 physical or sexual assaults against women in BC (4).
