UW-Madison PAVE: March 2011: Men needed to win fight against domestic violence
http://uwpave.blogspot.com/2011/02/men-needed-to-win-fight-against.html
Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Men needed to win fight against domestic violence. This notion yields a negative consequence: By suggesting that women are the only victims of domestic abuse, society believes it is women’s problem to solve. Hopefully people realize this isn’t true, but the stereotype has sunk in enough that there is a noticeable gap in the number of women and number of men actively volunteering in victim advocacy and violence prevention. Another stereotype preventing male participation is th...

Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Abusive relationships not a simple issue for victims. As his fingers closed around my throat, my brain flipped a switch that went primal. My only instincts were to keep breathing and to kick. Turns out, heels come in handy. How could you ever stay with him?

UW-Madison PAVE: March 2011: September 2011

Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Students must act to prevent sexual assault. Last week, thousands of freshmen descended onto the UW-Madison campus. Eager to start the next chapter of their lives, most are delightfully overwhelmed with everything this tremendous university has to offer. Most are also undereducated about a reality plaguing this campus: Sexual assault. Passive disdain for sexual assault is not sufficient. We need to use our collective voice to say we will not let our campus be a place whe...

Monday, March 28, 2011. PAVE volunteer sounds off on Virgin Mobile stalking commercials. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Ugh, this commercial is horrible! Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Ahh, the second one is even worse! It's like they're totally insinuating that all girls are hysterical and "crazy" and that people will therefore relate to the commerical and be more likely to buy the phone. And the fact that they're portraying stalking, especially by a girl, as harmless and comical is just disgusting.

UW-Madison PAVE: March 2011: October 2010
http://uwpave.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. The realities of emotional abuse. Every couple fights, and everyone has moments they regret. What distinguishes abuse from occasional mistakes is the repetition of the hurtful behavior. Ignoring someone once is one thing; ignoring someone on a regular basis to deliberately sabotage their self-respect is completely another. Perhaps the worst part is the fact that emotional abuse is often starved of evidence. No outward bruises or scars remain, though victims have described em...

Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Victim blaming extends beyond rape into stalking. With stories like these popping up left and write, it’s important we remember we should not to blame the victims for these happenings. Even though it is recommended users refrain from putting personal information on their Facebook profiles, people are not at blame people when this information gets out. Instead, we need to catch stalkers like this one and prosecute them. They are the ones truly in the wrong. PAVE is a student org...

http://uwpave.blogspot.com/2011/10/waitress-emphasizes-importance-of.html
Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Waitress' emphasizes importance of addressing domestic abuse. Three women sit on a bench outside of a the small-town diner where they work as waitresses. They start up what appears to be a conversation familiar to them. Dawn: "But now here you are [Jenna], married to this handsome guy … who's got very good hair, and pregnant with a little girl. But neither of us would trade places with you for one second, now would we Becky? Becky: "No we wouldn't, Dawn, No we wouldn't.". The f...
