Dating Safe: Empowering Healthy Relationships with an Equity Lens

The YWCA Dating Safe program is an initiative aimed at preventing dating violence among youth. Employing an equity approach, the program strives to educate and empower youth of all genders by equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate relationships that are free from violence and abuse. Over the course of five years, the YWCA Dating Safe team has collaborated with experts in the field, youth, and facilitators to develop a curriculum that reflects the diverse multi-ethnic, racial, and linguistic communities it serves.
