A lot of information about sexual violence prevention can seem academic or adult-centered, so blogs allow the public to hear actual voices of activists in direct and powerful ways. Anyone can blog, whether you’re an advocate, an educator, a survivor, and/or an ally!

SPARK Movement and PBG are blogs written for girls by girls, and bloggers have tackled street harassment, fighting sexual assault on college campuses, and shared really useful research findings about the impact of rape prevention programs. You can check them all out out by going to the SPARK blog and selecting our “Sexual Violence & Prevention” button or searching for any related topic.

Advice columns are a useful kind of blogging. and if you have questions about healthy sexuality and relationships, need information about SVP, even if you need someone to talk to, Scarleteen is the best.
