THE HISTORY

Over the past decade, more attention has been given to the crime of sexual assault than ever before in our society -- mainly due to cases involving celebrities and athletes.  Unfortunately, the public debates arising from such prominent cases often lead to even greater misunderstandings of what consent means and how sexual assault is defined.

To help clear-up the various misconceptions about sexual assault and consent, Mike Domitrz (author of May I Kiss You?  A Candid Look at Dating, Communication, Respect, & Sexual Assault Awareness and editor of Voices of Courage: Inspiration from Survivors of Sexual Assault) has teamed up with educators, professionals, counselors, parents, administrators, students, and experts from around the world to start The Date Safe Project. 

THE FOCUS
The Date Safe Project provides strong and positive voices for discussing sexual assault awareness, healthy dating, and specifically addressing consent.  Additional responsibilities of the organization include:

1. Creating original, educational programs and materials.
   
2. Providing links to needed resources.
   
3. Teaching the importance of males and females working jointly to make an impact!
   
4. Building chapters in schools, on campuses, and in communities.  By doing so, students, educators, and community members can come together to raise awareness toward the crime of sexual assault and the understanding of consent.
   
5. Responding quickly to national news stories; media programs; and societal trends concerning consent and sexual assault awareness.  By providing leading experts, we give the media a new and thought-provoking voice.  If you are with a media entity, you can learn more by clicking here.
   
6. Publishing press releases and "Letters to the Editor" to expose inaccuracies and injustices.
