TEENS N THEATER (TNT) Presents CUTTER on November 9 from 2:30-4 pm
A play dealing with the very real contemporary topic of self harm in the teen community
TNT, in partnership with the West Central Wisconsin Boys and Girls Club, will be premiering this play on Wednesday, November 9th in the Baraboo Civic Center gymnasium, located at 124 2nd Street in Baraboo. This performance is free and open to the public and will run from 2:30 to 4 pm. This group of courageous teens has joined together to tackle the difficult issues that face our kids on a daily basis in our ever growing complex world. Among other topics looked at by this ground breaking group are, bullying, divorce, sexual pressure, and group dynamics. TNT is bringing these issues out in the open in hopes of demonstrating better coping skills and having healing conversations. In an effort to promote this kind of dialogue, the teen actors will be facilitating a talk-back session after the show to discuss these issues and their impact on teens’ lives.

Sexual Assault
  • [Trigger Warning] After Misogynistic #TrumpTapes Leaked, Women are Sharing Stories of Their Sexual Assault: “Friday afternoon, leaked audio tape revealed Donald Trump in a crude, aggressive conversation that captured the Republican presidential nominee bragging that his celebrity status gave him special permission to grope and grab women as he pleased…some women online responded to the controversy by sharing their earliest memories of sexual assault. Author Kelly Oxford wrote, ‘Tweet me your first assaults. They aren't just stats. I'll go first: Old man on city bus grabs my 'pussy' and smiles at me, I'm 12’”…Read more
  • Activist Men React To ‘Locker Room Talk’: “‘You are seeing the harmful outcome of aspects of what men and boys are taught about manhood,’ Porter said. ‘That collective socialization creates unwritten rules that allow us to dismiss comments, jokes or behaviors that devalue women and girls, and through our silence, create the fertile ground where violence and discrimination against women can take root and flourish.’ Through this collective socialization, Porter says, men and boys are taught to define themselves by devaluing women and girls, often through phrases so ingrained in our culture we don’t give them a second thought: ‘You throw like a girl,’ ‘Man up,’”…Read more…Read related article: Pro Athletes Are Calling Out Trump For His So-Called “Locker Room Talk”
  • 2 Additional Women Accuse Trump of Sexual Assault
  • A Cop Who’s Spent 30 Years Fighting Sexual Assault Explains Why Victims Often Wait to Come Forward: “‘Oftentimes [power and control are] purposefully leveraged during the assault and afterward, with things like, ‘Nobody is going to believe you, I’m an important person in the community,’ he says. Tremblay and I spoke Thursday afternoon about why women often wait long periods before reporting sexual assault, what law enforcement could do to better assist victims, and how the language the media uses can often disadvantaged victims”…Read more​

  • A Doctor Who Treats Rape Survivors Seen As Nobel Peace Prize Contender: “45,482. That is the number of rape survivors treated by Dr. Denis Mukwege and his associates at Panzi Hospital between 1999 and 2015…‘What I'm doing really is not only to treat women — their body,’ says Mukwege, ‘[but] also to fight for their own right, to bring them to be autonomous, and, of course, to support them psychologically. And all of this is a process of healing so women can regain their dignity’”…Read more

  • 6 Charts that Will Change How You Think about Sexual Assault in America​
  • 5 Women Accuse UW-Madison Student of Sexual Assault: “A University of Wisconsin-Madison student is accused of sexual assaulting five women and is facing at least 14 felony charges, including second-degree sexual assault and strangulation and suffocation. He has been suspended from the university. Alec Cook, 20, was first arrested this month for allegedly sexually assaulting a 20-year-old woman at his apartment on Oct. 12”…Read more
  • NSVRC Commends Congress, President Obama for Passage of Survivors’ Bill of Rights: “Not only does this bill set standards for preserving rape kit evidence in federal sexual assault cases, this bill sets a shining example of how the rights of sexual assault survivors should be prioritized in all states as well as in federal cases. It is imperative that states join the federal government in reforming the processes and systems that all too often re-victimize survivors who are seeking justice. We must eliminate systemic obstacles to reporting and holding individuals who cause harm accountable”…Read more
  • Nate Parker’s ‘Birth of a Nation’ Exploits My Sister All Over Again (Guest Column): “As her sister, the thing that pains me most of all is that in retelling the story of the Nat Turner slave revolt, they invented a rape scene. The rape of Turner’s wife is used as a reason to justify Turner’s rebellion. This is fiction. I find it creepy and perverse that Parker and Celestin would put a fictional rape at the center of their film, and that Parker would portray himself as a hero avenging that rape…as the trial transcripts have come out, I have been gratified to see so many people rally to defend my sister. I know she would feel honored, as she never got that level of support in life…I will wait for a true version of this story to be told — one that respects history and does not re-exploit my sister”…Read more

 

Domestic Violence
  • Another Shocking Domestic Violence Case Is Rocking the NFL: “The league knew that there was a history of domestic violence in the Brown household. NFL security even had to be called at the Pro Bowl when Molly, who was staying in a separate room with their children, had to deal with a drunk Josh Brown trying to knock down her hotel door. That Brown only received a one-game suspension instead of the mandatory six-game suspension for domestic violence is curious. The idea that the league and the Giants, all of whom employ their own team of investigators stocked with former FBI and Secret Service agents, did not know about the extent of Brown’s abusive behavior is absurd”…Read more
  • The Link Between Natural Disasters and Domestic Abuse: “This exposure is just one of the concerns at the intersection of disasters and domestic abuse. After disasters occur, there is often an uptick in domestic-violence incidents. Domestic-abuse experts say this is likely because batterers often have more access to their families, because they are not at work…‘It’s very, very tempting when an abuser says, ‘Oh my house didn’t flood, you can come here and stay,’ or ‘I told you that you couldn’t make it on your own,’ says Meeks. ‘The woman’s family and friends are probably telling her, ‘You should just go back to your husband, at least his house is dry’”…Read more
  • An Estimated 4.5 Million Women Have Been Bullied with Guns by Abusive Partners: “An estimated 4.5 million women in the U.S. have been bullied or coerced with a firearm by an intimate partner. Another 1 million have survived a gunshot wound or been shot at. Those are the central findings of the first systematic review on the nonfatal use of firearms in domestic violence. ‘There hasn’t been much research on guns and women in the first place,’ Susan Sorenson...‘What has been conducted tends to focus on women’s deaths. This research focuses on women’s lives’”…Read more…Read related article: My Ex-Husband Used His Guns to Terrorize Me — Without Once Pulling the Trigger

  • Bresha Meadows: Campaigners Want 15-Year-Old Accused of 'Shooting Dead Her Abusive Father' to Walk Free: “The campaign said that 15.5 million children in the US are exposed to domestic violence each year, and of those incarcerated for self-defence, a disproportionate number are black. ‘Criminalising Bresha in this context sends a harmful message to survivors and their children—that even in the most desperate of situations, they will be punished instead of helped,’ the petition read, which has gathered support under the twitter hashtag ‘#FreeBresha’. A GoFundMe page has also raised more than $37,000 to support Bresha and her family”…Read more…Learn what you can do to help
  • What Women Need To Know About Reproductive Coercion: “Reproductively coercive acts include threatening to leave unless the woman becomes pregnant, threatening to have a baby with someone else if she doesn’t comply, physically abusing a woman because she does not agree to pregnancy and tampering with birth control to deliberately cause pregnancy. Forcing a woman to either carry a pregnancy to term or have an abortion against her wishes also constitutes reproductive coercion. Birth control tampering and pregnancy coercion, in particular, is the focus of McCauley’s latest research. ‘The thing about reproductive coercion is that many women still don’t recognize this behavior as abuse,’”…Read more

 

Children and Youth
  • Could a Summer Camp Stop Kids from Repeating the Violence They Saw Growing Up?: “Camp activities are specifically designed to help kids build resilience — the ability to overcome adversity and trauma — and to increase hopefulness about the future, Gwinn said. While ‘hope’ sounds like a simple, feel-good emotion, it actually works as a powerful motivational system that can help individuals achieve goals. And, it can be measured. Chan Hellman, a researcher in hope theory at the University of Oklahoma, explained a person with ‘hope’ has the ability to create a mental roadmap to reach a goal, as well as the willpower needed to overcome obstacles as they arise. ‘Hope is the foundation of resiliency,’”…Read more
  • New Study Finds 15 Percent of 6th Graders Commit Cyber Abuse: “According to a new study, 15 percent of sixth-grade students report they have perpetrated at least one form of abuse toward a dating partner through technology…The most common forms of cyber dating abuse were using a dating partner’s social networking account without permission and making a dating partner afraid of not responding to their partner’s calls or messages”…Read more

  • Human Trafficking Survivors Share 5 Ways To Help End Practice: “On Tuesday, the U.S. government released its first-ever report on human trafficking written by survivors. In the document, 11 survivors of sex and labor trafficking, who were appointed by President Obama to the first U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking in 2015, provide recommendations on how to improve federal trafficking policies ― ranging from legislation to public awareness campaigns to victims’ services”…Read more

  • If You Think Child Marriage Doesn’t Happen in the US, Think Again: “In fact, in most circumstances the young girls are not given the opportunity to freely express their wishes in private settings and away from their parents, where they can speak to a trained professional who is able to provide some guidance and assess the child’s genuine willingness. Unfortunately, most court clerks and public officials are not allowed to intervene. Laws that prevent forced marriage are limited to nine states, usually only apply to women, and exclusively prevent marriages in which a woman is married against her will. Due to the complicated nature of coercion, teenage pregnancies, and cultural values that may motivate a child marriage, it’s not always clear if a child has been ‘forced’”…Read more
  • Workers to Protest at McDonald's Stores across US over Sexual Harassment Claims: “Workers in more than 30 US cities are planning to join a lunchtime protest at their local McDonald’s stores on Thursday to draw attention to 15 different sexual complaints that have been filed against the company and its franchisees over the past month. The allegations, filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), claimed that in addition to experiencing sexual harassment on the job those who complained were often retaliated against”…Read more…Read related article: Workplace Sexual Harassment: A Threat To Victims, A Quandary For Bystanders

  • Talking to Your Children about Sex: Stop It Now, a national organization working to end child sexual abuse, recently released their recommended list of online resources for parents about talking to your children about sex:
    • "One of our favorites is Amy Lang's site, Birds+ Bees+ Kids. Her guidance and information is spot on, with humor and a focus on positive communication. We especially love her blog, where entries, such as, "Playing Doctor - Typical and common behaviors in kids and what to do!", provide some great tips on how to know when to respond to children's exploratory play. Check out her Facebook page also! 
    • The Mama Bear Effect is another wonderful resource and their blog is also a well-informed and thoughtful resource. Published monthly, it offers great topics such as "5 Ways We Confuse Children About Body Safety" to help parents more effectively communicate with their kids.
    • Another great option is the Sex and Sensibility blog and, while the Parents' Sex Ed Center on Advocates for Youth isn't a blog, the articles are still wonderful resources." 

 

Faith Communities' Section

Whether it is healing and responding when a hate incident occurs or hosting interfaith dialogues to address an issue of inclusion, faith leaders and congregants are part of the solution. Here you will find short films, stories, and resources that show how interfaith communities can work together to prevent hate and intolerance while building safer, more inclusive towns”…Read more

In order to address the challenges that communities face in responding to firearm-involved domestic violence, Safer Families, Safer Communities provides a comprehensive approach for attorneys, prosecutors, court personnel, judges, domestic violence service providers, law enforcement and communities at large.  The website highlights the importance of an approach focused on addressing five key areas: criminal, civil, federal, purchase prevention and resources.  All five areas are implicated in successfully enforcing firearms prohibitions and disarming domestic violence offenders who illegally possess firearms."

Each section contains extremely unique impacts regarding sovereignty, policy, historical trauma and cultural impacts of cultural oppression or colonization. This collection is not meant to be a complete representation of all intersections of family or intimate partner violence, as it would be impossible to represent thousands of trauma-impacting factors; it is instead meant to provide a comprehensive collection of the most significant and researched resources on domestic violence and intersecting issues affecting Native and Alaskan Native people today”…Read the collection
