Using PowerPoint slides, video illustrations, in-person demos and handouts, Anguiano spoke about gender-based violence in an attempt to raise awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Anguiano\u2019s lecture covered topics of supporting survivors, raising awareness and crisis counseling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s enough conversation about sexual assault,\u201d Anguiano said. \u201cAnd not enough men are involved in the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fran Jackler, the psychology professor who invited Anguiano and the YMCA\u2019s education program into her class, frequently invites guest speakers with expertise into her classroom. \u201cThe topic of consent is important for everyone,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve found the Y presents sensitively and helps people feel comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anguiano has worked at YWCA for three years and speaks at many venues, including high schools and colleges. His relaxed presentation allowed the students to be interactive and engaged. Sensitive topics, such as reluctantly consenting to sex within marriage were raised, and Anguiano handled the tension with compassion and ease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot being offended to a rejection is a problem,\u201d Anguiano said. If someone takes a rejection personally, the offended person can view themselves as a failure, which may induce coercion or violence. Clear communication is paramount.<\/p>\n<p>Myths of sexual assault are often perpetuated by Hollywood stereotypes. The victim stereotype is female, young, na\u00efve, intoxicated and wearing revealing clothing. The perpetrator stereotype is male, middle-aged, not necessarily attractive, stronger, taller and also intoxicated.<\/p>\n<p>But the facts of sexual assault differ from Hollywood and the main narrative.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>YWCA of Silicon Valley\u2019s 24\/7 support line is 1-800-572-2782, or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ywca-sv.org\">www.ywca-sv.org<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAssault is not a result of what a person is wearing,\u201d Anguiano said. According to his sources, the victim can be wearing anything from pajamas to a sweat suit, and 10 percent of victims are male.<\/p>\n<p>Anguiano demonstrated what coercion looks like by working with a student volunteer and a pen. Coercion was defined as whenever it is more difficult to say \u201cno\u201d than to say \u201cyes.\u201d It is not always physical, but can include threats, body language and shaming.<\/p>\n<p>Coercion\u2019s counterpoint, consent, has permission at its core. Anguiano used a video titled, \u201cConsent: It\u2019s simple as tea\u201d to illustrate. Emphasis was placed on the fact that consent must be clear, coherent, willing and ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Victims of sexual assault are at an increased risk for PTSD, depression and drug abuse, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>Stigmatization is a factor which impacts whether a victim reports the incident, and it can also lead to the victim internalizing blame.<\/p>\n<p>To help a victim of sexual assault, the \u201cdo\u201d list includes listening, acknowledging, validating and providing resources. Options for reporting the incident anonymously can be done with and without law enforcement, and they include Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cdo not\u201d list when learning about an assault includes confronting the abuser, asking why the incident happened, acting shocked (the victim becomes a comforter in that case) and telling others what happened to the victim.<\/p>\n<p>The YWCA is hosting a survivor panel to stand against sexual harassment April 11 at 5:30 p.m., at 375 South Third St. The event is free, open to the public, and registration is at http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/ywcasvpanel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every 98 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. 90 percent of survivors are women. 55 percent of assaults are in or near the home. 85 percent perpetrators are a known entity. 95,000 rape victims per year 1070 perpetrators are convicted per year For more statistics, visit http:\/\/rainn.org Andrew Anguiano, a training and communications education coordinator&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":502,"featured_media":12549,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"staff_name":[724],"class_list":["post-12548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","staff_name-krissy-tobey"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
