The Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Prevention (SVSHP) working group in SPH is looking for one or more co-facilitators for a new DeCal for Fall 2022! Please see details below. We have already identified one facilitator, but need at least one (if not 2 or 3) more!
This is a fantastic leadership opportunity and a chance to work with a group of passionate peers on SVSHP! Materials have already been prepared. Professor Amy Garlin will be the Faculty Sponsor for this DeCal.
Please contact the following people if interested or have questions!! Andriana Marijic Buljubasic (Co-Facilitator) [email protected] Kunesh - [email protected]

The DeCal: This DeCal will cover three main topic areas:
1. sexual violence and sexual harassment in order to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of where our current issues towards sexual violence stem from,
2. how we can best contribute to the healing and support of survivors, and how we can strive towards health equity and a more holistic understanding of sexual violence and
3. harassment at the population level, each through the lens of public health knowledge and practice.

We will first learn about the historic foundation, both legislative and cultural, of sexual violence and sexual harassment. Issues of prior policy, societal norms and expectations for women, struggles for reproductive health equity, and institutional issues regarding the social determinants of health will all be covered in this first topic area.

We will then cover the healing, support, and advocacy for survivors in our second topic area through learning about and discussing PATH to Care at Berkeley, successful community-based organizations such as women’s shelters and Planned Parenthood, and the movement and grassroots advocacy work.

The final topic area will cover related issues in sexual violence and sexual harassment centered on health and gender inequity and societal beliefs. In this section, we will discuss domestic violence, homelessness, sexual violence, and current issues such as abortion law and Roe v Wade.

This course will be primarily discussion-based, but will also involve topic lectures and guest speakers from UC Berkeley and the surrounding community. Class size will be limited to approximately 20 students, and we will meet for ideally 2 hours once a week for this 1 credit decal.
