We believe this project will be effective in starting the much needed discourse on this neglected issue. Many educators and adult allies have expressed their frustrations of being unequipped to address a sexual violence situation, or even equipped to identify it. Training like this will teach participants the importance of addressing sexual violence and will break barriers that have existed for years in the community.
This event is a partnership between HEART Women & Girls, Rape Victim Advocates, and the Rahma Network. It is sponsored by the Office on Womens Health at the Department of Health and Human Services, Chicago Foundation for Women & The Pillars Fund and is supported by the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago (CIOGC).

UAO will host the African Youth Forum on March 31, 2012. The African Youth Forum will bring together African and African-American youth, as well as other immigrant and native-born young people in Chicago to dialogue around issues and challenges in their communities.

The Forum focuses on the Prison Industrial Complex, Immigration, and Education.

Through dialogue, we hope that young people will build understanding of each others' points of view, and in the process find common ground. We hope that the forum will be a catalyst for sustained youth dialogue and organizing in Chicago, with committed and open engagement from African youth. The forum will be a day-long affair, and will include performances, music, talks and discussions.
