African Female

It depends on where you are coming from

So, basically, um, I agree with what the others said- it depends on where you are coming from. So, what someone from Canada may consider a sexual assualt may not be what someone from West Africa would consider a sexual assault.

Recommendations

  • Engage in activities to develop cultural responsiveness as it pertains to sexual violence prevention and response. Apply culturally responsive practices in these areas.
