Respect is essential in forming relationships that are healthy and happy. One Act you can do is to have a conversation about respect with your partner over a romantic dinner and/or a box of chocolate. 

Did you see this letter to the editor in today’s The Daily Tar Heel from one of our peer educators in training, Katrina?

“We must hold perpetrators of all forms of abuse (including sexual abuse, the abuse of state power, and cultural abuse) accountable for their actions.  And as a community, we must hold each other accountable for bringing perpetrators to justice in a way that benefits both the survivor and our community as a whole.  Any other outcome subjects survivors to renewed trauma and frustration.” -Blogger Sarah-Kathryn Bryan
