University of Windsor’s Girls Resist Project

Are you a girl between 14-18 years old in Ontario? Have you ever wanted to learn how to recognize “red flags” in relationships, strengthen your ability to stand up for yourself and other girls, or learn self-defence? 

Are you a parent or adult in the life of a girl between 14-18 years old?

University of Windsor researchers are looking for teen girls to participate in a study testing the effectiveness of a healthy relationships and sexual assault resistance education program. No dating or sexual experience is required. All self-identified girls of any sexual identity are welcome to participate!
