Red Flag Campaign

<p> The mission of the Red Flag Campaign is to bring awareness to college students who are friends or peers of people on either side of an abusive relationship, educates those friends and peers about the Red Flags of dating violence so that they know what makes a healthy relationship and what does not, and encourages them to &ldquo;Say Something&rdquo; and intervene to help stop and prevent abuse. The campaign is a statewide initiative to shed light on relationship violence in our community and includes a series of eight posters that illustrate &ldquo;Red Flags&rdquo; that might appear in a relationship where dating violence is occurring. The posters focus on different aspects of dating violence, including emotional abuse, coercion, excessive jealousy, isolation, sexual assault and victim-blaming.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> TALK RED</p> <p> <strong>October 1, 2014</strong></p> <p> <strong>7:30 p.m.</strong></p> <p> <strong>Cape Charles Room, Webb Center</strong></p> <p> <em>The ODU NPHC Sororities and ODU</em></p> <p> <em>Women&rsquo;s Center will partner for an evening discussion about recognizing relationship red flags and how to nurture healthy relationship behaviors.</em></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> DELIVERY OF RED FLAG BOUQUETS</p> <p> <strong>October 15, 2014</strong></p> <p> <strong>10:00 a.m.</strong></p> <p> <strong>Campus-Wide Event</strong></p> <p> <em>Red Flag Campaign Bouquets will be delivered to offices on campus along with Red Flag Campaign Cards.
