What Else You Can Do to Enact Change

- Evaluate your own language, beliefs and attitudes about traditional gender roles, roles in relationships, and the issues of domestic and sexual violence as a whole.
- Address un-informed remarks and offensive jokes that you may hear from other people. Re-educate people, or let them know that you are not tolerant of their behaviors.
- Do not support movies, television shows or other forms of mass media that portray eroticized violence against women and children.
- Write letters to newspapers, magazines, companies and politicians expressing your support or concerns about their practices.
- Model respectful behavior for children.
- Be supportive of people who are survivors of domestic or sexual violence. Do not practice victim-blaming.
