One of the questions we are asked most often by parents is how to prevent sexual assault from happening to their child. Unfortunately, the only person who can prevent sexual assault is a perpetrator, but there are steps every parent can take now to open channels of communication with their child (no matter the age) about healthy relationships, sex, and consent.
Talking about the risk of sexual assault with your child often means first talking about the opposite: healthy relationships. No matter the age of your child, be sure to regularly express to them that you want them to have healthy, safe relationships. This post talks more about how to do this.
Unfortunately, conversations with your children cannot end at healthy, safe relationships. Parents need to teach children how to identify when someone in their community is not acting appropriately and what they can do about it. Read on for how.
In this episode, the Swain Girls talk with I Have The Right To co-founder about sexual assault, consent, communication, and healthy relationships.
Chessy is a student at Barnard College at the time of this podcast.
In this video made for Stop Sexual Assault in Schools, Alex and Susan Prout discuss how their lives were also devastated by their daughter Chessy’s rape at the prestigious St. Paul’s School and the subsequent trial that attracted national and international attention. Here they offer heartfelt advice for private school parents and families.
In May 2014, while a freshman at the prestigious prep school, St. Paul’s in Concord, NH, Chessy Prout was sexually assaulted. After shedding her anonymity in 2016, Chessy is now sharing her story and hoping to help empower sexual assault survivors. Watch this interview with People Magazine to hear more.
Almost four years after the assault, Chessy Prout shares her experiences with students and administrators on campus post-assault and during the trial.
She boldly states “a teenage survivor of sexual assault shouldn’t be responsible for holding a 162-year old institution accountable for its actions, or lack thereof.”
Chessy Prout speaks out again through her Memoir, I Have The Right To: A High School Survivor’s Story of Sexual Assault, Justice, and Hope.
This Vice interview talks about the timing of the book in the context of the growing national dialogue about sexual violence and shares Chessy’s wisdom and empowering messages.
