  • Express Yourself: A Teen Girl's Guide to Speaking Up and Being Who You Are
    Express Yourself: A Teen Girl's Guide to Speaking Up and Being Who You Are

    Using techniques based in proven-effective dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this book will show you how to have positive interactions with others, deal with difficult emotions that can arise from bullying or dealing with “mean girls," and easy-to-use strategies that will boost your self-esteem and confidence.

  • Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions
    Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions

    A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a dear friend from childhood, asking her how to raise her baby girl as a feminist. Dear Ijeawele is Adichie's letter of response. Here are fifteen invaluable suggestions -- compelling, direct, wryly funny, and perceptive -- for how to empower a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. From encouraging her to choose a helicopter, and not only a doll, as a toy if she so desires; having open conversations with her about clothes, makeup, and sexuality; debunking the myth that women are somehow biologically arranged to be in the kitchen making dinner, and that men can "allow" women to have full careers, Dear Ijeawele goes right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century. This 80-page manifesto will start a new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.

  • Days of Respect: Organizing a School-Wide Violence Prevention Program

  • Mentors in Violence Prevention: MVP Violence Prevention
    Mentors in Violence Prevention: MVP Violence Prevention

  • Hostile Hallways: Bullying, Teasing, and Sexual Harassment in School.
    Hostile Hallways: Bullying, Teasing, and Sexual Harassment in School.

    This study investigates secondary school students' experiences of sexual harassment--and all the bullying, teasing, and touching it entails--and compares the results with those of the 1993 study "Hostile Hallways: The AAUW Survey on Sexual Harassment in America's Schools." Topics in the survey include students' knowledge and awareness of sexual harassment, personal experiences with sexual harassment in their school lives, and the emotional and behavioral impact of these experiences. A nationally representative sample of 2064 public school students in 8th through 11th grades was interviewed. Using self-administered questionnaires, 1559 students were surveyed during an English class, and 505 students were surveyed online. Students' answers were analyzed, where possible, to identify any difference by gender, race/ethnicity, grade level, and area of school. As in 1993, nearly all students say they know what sexual harassment is, and they provided their own definitions when asked. Major findings reveal the following: significant numbers of students are afraid of being hurt or bothered in their school lives; sexual harassment is widespread in school life...

  • Making the Peace: A 15-Session Violence Prevention Curriculum for Young People
    Making the Peace: A 15-Session Violence Prevention Curriculum for Young People

    Making the Peace is a violence prevention program for helping high school students build safer schools, relationships, and communities. The 15 session curriculum addresses the social roots of violence and injustice, and has exercises on building safe and inclusive communities. 15-sessions are grouped into three units. Part One explains basic concepts and establishes a framework of safety and respect within the class. Part Two looks at the forms which violence takes. Part Three focuses on healing from the past and introduces individual and group activities that can help to make the peace. The opening chapter, "Before You Begin," offers specific advice and guidelines to teachers and facilitators for doing violence prevention work with young people. Materials include practical suggestions—from arranging desks to facilitate discussion, to anticipating challenging issues and topics and handling difficult responses.

  • Hardy Girls, Healthy Women
    Hardy Girls, Healthy Women

    Hardy Girls works at creating a hardiness zone for girls that includes giving her the control over her environment, showing her commitment from a community and asking her to commit in return, and then challenging her to create change. First, we have to start with critical thinking. Without that, it’s easy to think the individuals are at fault instead of looking at the whole system which ignores girls’ brilliance. Since day one, Hardy Girls programming, resources and services have been powered by the latest research in girls’ development.
