Ending sexual violence feels like a GIANT task, but there are little things that you can do every day to work to create a culture of consent, to challenge victim blaming, to stand up to rape culture, and to support survivors.

The SOAR Collective shared a post on Instagram: "What are the Four R’s of Interrupting Microaggressions? In part 2 of our series on microaggressions, we learn strategies you can use to interrupt or address harmful and abusive language or behaviors. Check back to learn more about how microaggressions show up at work. [image description: Slide 1: four boxes with the words request, reflect, redirect, and revisit, with “the Four R’s of Interrupting Microaggressions” below. Slide 2: REQUEST 1) Ask them to elaborate: “Can you say more about that?” or “I don’t get it… why is that funny?” or “Can I asked why you phrased it that way?” 2) Tell them to stop: “That’s inappropriate. Leave them alone.” or “That’s racist. We don’t use that phrase anymore.” 3) Be clear about what you need: “What I’d like is…” or “It would be helpful to me if…” or “Can you find someone who can help?” Slide 3: REFLECT 1) Paraphrase or restate what you’re hearing and feeling: “I think what I’m hearing you say is…” or “It sounds like you…” 2) Share a personal reflection as a learning opportunity: “I used to think __, but then I learned __.” or “I’m sure you weren't trying to come across that way, but when you said __, it has this impact…” Slide 4: REDIRECT 1) Shift the focus to a different topic: “Let’s move on…” or “Next up on the agenda…” 2) Ask others to share their thoughts: “What do others think?” or “Let’s open that up for discussion” 3) Cause a distraction: “Can you give me directions to…?” or “Do you know how to work the printer?” or accidentally-on-purpose spill your drink. Slide 5: REVISIT 1) In the moment: “Can we go back and revisit what was just said?” or “Something that was said didn’t sit well with me… can we talk about it before we move on?” 2) Talk about it later: “I want to go back to something that was said in our morning meeting…” 3) Check-in with the person who was targeted: ”What can I do? What do you need?” or “Do you want to talk about it?” Slide 6: Regardless of how you choose to address microaggressions, you can always give feedback to the person who committed the abuse about the impact of their behavior and offer alternatives for the future.
