Presentation Date and Time

by Joyce Mok

Most of us know the physical hazards of caving, but there are interpersonal hazards in caving that we need to be willing to talk about. The presentation will cover:

  • the scope and severity of sexual violence in caving, including stories from across the U.S. caving community
  • facts vs. myths about sexual violence, addressing real myths that have come up in responses to code of conduct complaints
  • what audience members can do right now to help address the problem, including the basics of bystander intervention, survivor support, and setting commuity norms.
