Make the Connection
Step Up, Speak Out is a project of the Nebraska Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence. Providing teens with clear and accurate information on all forms of violence—including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and gender violence—can lead to a reduction of this violence. These materials, in isolation, are not enough to end all forms of violence. However, when used in conjunction with a community effort, violence can be eradicated.
Nebraska Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence
The Nebraska Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence is a statewide advocacy organization committed to the prevention and elimination of domestic violence and sexual assault. We work to enhance safety and justice for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault by supporting and building upon the services provided by the network of local programs. Nebraska’s network of domestic violence/sexual assault programs provides access to safety and shelter across our entire state.
