... and we're ready to start creating that world. SAVE - Sexual Assault Voices of Edmonton - is a broad-based coalition including educators, NGO's, sexual assault counsellors, the Edmonton Police Service, and interested business and individuals. Our common goal is to reduce the incidences of alcohol facilitated sexual assaults in our city by reaching those who commit it. Why? Because sexual assault is a problem in our community. Every week, the Sexual Assault Centres and police see people who are feeling confused, ashamed, and in pain because they were forced into sexual activity which they did not consent to. We're not okay with the current state of affairs and we think Edmonton can be a leader for change. What you can expect from us is a series of campaigns over the next five years with the aim of reducing sexual violence. Through these campaigns we will raise awareness, challenge myths, fight victim-blaming, and stand in solidarity with survivors. We're looking for a shift in society that's about respecting each other. Smoking used to be cool, drunk driving was once a joke - well, the way that we think about and respond to sexual assault is evolving. And it's time.

We launched the Don't Be That Guy campaign on November 22, 2010. Click here to see the posters.
