Milton Glaser discussing "fear of failure"

Milton Glaser is a famous graphic designer. His work consists of things you all have seen for years and years, like the "I love NY" logo and so many other works of graphic design. In this video, Milton talks to us about the Fear of Failure.

Milton said that "You must embrace failure, you must admit what is, you must find out what you are capable of doing."

On a personal note, as a former athlete and coach of throwing events in track and field, I know that the most successful people in the world are the ones who have made the most mistakes. They practice over and over and make mistake after mistake after mistake. My athletes would ask me, "Coach, should I just make a "mark" and stand throw? My answer is always "why would you do that? If you're ever going to reach beyond what your mind says that you can do, you have to be fearless. They would say "what if I foul?" My answer to that was "who cares, you won't even remember this track meet in a week." In life, if we always hold back, or never do anything differently, we will never realize how truly great we really are. We are all capable of greatness, we just have to be fearless and go get it!

9 Building our Expert Status and Preventing Violence in the Process

Marianne Winters is a leader in the movement to end and address sexualized and domestic violence and is passionate about progressive movements that are visionary, inclusive, current, responsive and proactive. Some would say that she’s “all over the place”. She prefers to say that she thrives on variety and is energized by the multi-faceted, never ending, interconnected and always exciting work of social change. She is the Project Diva for Graphix for Change and consultant and trainer for Praxis for Change.

Our Challenge
Here’s the challenge to those of us working in organizations addressing sexual violence. To the general public seeking basic information, our knowledge base is one of the best kept secrets on the internet. Search engines have certain rules. They find information based on their matrices that involve key words, phrases, and links to good information. Search engines don’t discern between survivor-centered and supportive messages and victim-blaming non-supportive messages.

We can meet this challenge by strategically building our expert status. We need to create and publish the website pages, blog posts, articles, and links to the information that we know bystanders need. We can do this by getting savvy about how the internet finds and prioritizes information and optimizing our own websites to respond.

From the technology end, we need to realize that the internet which at first was a convenient place for organizations to post an electronic version of their brochures and reports, is now an interactive, changing, breathing thing. Many organizations are now catching up to this trend and they’re seeing results. The organizations and the messages that rise to the top are building websites that also become platforms for news and information, for discussion and trends. These website are more than just posted information, they help communities engage and connect, they attract donors and supporters – in these situations, their work is more often coming up on the front page.

What does that mean for bystander work?
When building your platforms, think about your audiences. When you post information, be sure to think about how it will be read by survivors and then how it will be read by the friends and families of survivors and victims. You may also want to consider what it means to be reach out to people who may know someone at risk to abuse or to someone who has not really thought about the issue much. If you find ways to interact with ALL of these audiences, you will have built a much more interactive and responsive conversation for your organization and your community.

If you are using your website as a platform to engage bystanders, we’d love to hear about it.

Emerging Technologies as an Essential Tool for Bystander Intervention

Marianne Winters is a leader in the movement to end and address sexualized and domestic violence and is passionate about progressive movements that are visionary, inclusive, current, responsive and proactive. Some would say that she’s “all over the place”. She prefers to say that she thrives on variety and is energized by the multi-faceted, never ending, interconnected and always exciting work of social change. She is the Project Diva for Graphix for Change and consultant and trainer for Praxis for Change.

I see the term bystander intervention as a term for people doing the right thing in the moment and building better relationships in the process. The second level of the social ecological model of prevention focuses on building relationships that promote non-violence and that address the risk factors for perpetration. This context is a perfect framework for understanding how emerging technologies can be used as a tool for bystander intervention.

Most parents of teens will tell you that Facebook, texting, instant messaging and so many other social media tools are the mode of communications in their nearly 24/7 world. We often hear about the negative impact of these emerging technologies through bullying stories. These tools can also be used as opportunities for bystander interventions.

We think that there is an exciting match between the goals of the sexual violence movement and the opportunities created by the emerging internet technologies. We believe that our movement needs to jump into these new technologies to ensure that our voices are heard in this new and exciting environment.

Let me give you a concrete example.

I just googled the term sexual violence in the city where I live. Here’s the list of sites on page one.
• the local sexual assault service provider,
• a training event that happened last year,
• 3 defense attorneys giving advice to someone accused of sexual assault or domestic violence,
•some general business links to the local rape crisis center and some other law firms.
• a listing of local newspaper articles on sexual assaults,
• some links to law firms 90 miles from here and some national organizations.

Then if I scroll through the entries, I begin to find sites that give messages about sexual violence – this is where it starts to become a problem.
• a YouTube video of a sex scene that is really a simulated rape.
• an entry in a website on college stories where a survivor of date rape shared her story and then received a long list of comments, some supportive, others victim blaming and abusive.

Here’s the good thing about this list. If I were a victim of rape looking for help, I would have found the local hotline easily enough.

Here’s the challenge as I see it. Putting on the hat of an interested bystander, I did not find any information about what I could do to help end sexual violence. I easily found news and resources, yet I could not find any information about what I could do in my community. None of the important messages of the movement such as what role my school, sports team or my church could play in setting new social norms, increasing safety, support and comfort for victims or interventions for those at risk to abuse were anywhere in the top 50 listings.

Even more problematic for the sexual violence movement and the communities we serve, I didn’t see any simple information about what’s healthy and normal, what to expect if I report sexual abuse, or what to do when I someone I know discloses abuse to me. I can’t readily find out what will happen if I witness an abusive joke or have a friend who has attitudes that blame the victim. In order to support bystander intervention we need to find ways to teach people how to engage in their relationships in healthy and non-violent ways. We need to teach and give examples of the ways that stronger relationships help to build communities that promote prevention.

Next, The challenge and how we can meet it

Working the Social-Ecological Model with SV 2.0 Tools

Marianne Winters is a leader in the movement to end and address sexualized and domestic violence and is passionate about progressive movements that are visionary, inclusive, current, responsive and proactive. Some would say that she’s “all over the place”. She prefers to say that she thrives on variety and is energized by the multi-faceted, never ending, interconnected and always exciting work of social change.

Primary Prevention aimed at Individual Factors

In the social-ecological model of prevention, the first level of factors that can influence social change is the individual level. These are the personal factors that may put someone at higher risk of perpetrating sexual violence. One of the biggest factors that the SV movement has consistently named is a set of attitudes that support the myths of sexual violence. In fact, the basic message of the movement – you might be tempted to call it a mantra – is “sexual assault is not your fault”. The basis for the widespread belief that victims are somehow to blame for their own victimization has long been identified as a key source of the problem.

For years, community education efforts have focused their message on exposing the myths around victim blaming and placing the responsibility on the person who chooses to commit the act of sexual violence. And rightfully so, According to the World Report on Violence and Health, these attitudes and beliefs are key in understanding who may be at higher risk of perpetrating these crimes, and therefore, what messages and interventions might be helpful in preventing them.

If you’d like to read more about what the World Health Organization has to say about this, read this Chapter on Sexual Violence from the World Report on Violence and Health. While it has plenty to say about risk factors for sexual victimization of women, some of the most compelling factors are the individual characteristics or factors that seem to increase men’s risk of committing rape. Once we work from a deeper understanding of these risk factors, we have the potential for real primary prevention. Here are some of the risk factors as identified in this report and some ideas for ways that Web 2.0 tools are being used toward prevention efforts.

Alcohol and drug use – This factor points the way to collaborative efforts with efforts that identify and address alcohol and drug abuse. Some of the ways to use these tools would be to develop a forum for leaders and advocates in both field to communicate and draw on each other’s strengths, cross training and issue development using webinar technology.

Coercive sexual fantasies and other attitudes and beliefs supportive of sexual violence and hostility towards women– Now documented as a risk factor which means that it is not longer enough to try to put out positive messages through education and media efforts, we need to call it out wherever we find these images on the internet. By taking a by-stander approach, we can use Facebook and other social media groups to organize people to comment on sexist and coercive images, comment on the many YouTube videos that show sex acts as simulated rapes, comment on victim-blaming and abusive comments. The more we can galvanize those who work for change on sexual violence to do more than ignore these images, to take about 30 seconds and make a comment, the more we impact change. This holds potential for a new type of community engagement volunteer, a group of people who partner with a local or statewide program to systematically respond to the misleading messages that are everyone regarding sexual violence.

History of sexual abuse as a child and/or witness family violence as a child – This research tells us that a history of sexual abuse or family violence can increase the risk factor. This does not mean that we’re saying that all men who were sexually abused or witnessed domestic violence are sexual perpetrators. It does mean, however, that we have data that compels us to figure out how to deepen the involvement and outreach of men in the work and broaden the work to assist men in the aftermath of their histories of violence. Web 2.0 tools can be used to speak to specific cultural groups and populations. It’s important that we figure out how to use these tools to speak to men who may have experienced violence themselves. And for advocates and counselors, we can use forums and social media to share ideas, further develop models for healing, outreach, and engagement of men.

If you have tried to use a Web 2.0 tool to engage in prevention at the individual level, I’d love to hear about it.

Get the right message about sexual violence out there, Rise above the ABUSE

Marianne Winters is a leader in the movement to end and address sexualized and domestic violence and is passionate about progressive movements that are visionary, inclusive, current, responsive and proactive. Some would say that she’s “all over the place”. She prefers to say that she thrives on variety and is energized by the multi-faceted, never ending, interconnected and always exciting work of social change. She is the Project Diva for Graphix for Change and consultant and trainer for Praxis for Change.

I just did my “let’s see what comes up when I Google something” exercise and kept it simple. I just googled the word rape. The front page led me to a series of offensive and degrading videos on YouTube – and the comments that were equally degrading. Then I saw some of the political news – debates about whether the definition of rape will be changed at the federal level. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find any links to a hotline or any information about the realities of rape. I imagined what I might be thinking, how I might be feeling if I were a survivor looking for information and help. I’m not sure that I’d ever reach out, that I’d feel trust in any group or service.

Social media has provided a means of communicating with our constituents that is unprecedented in this work. Unfortunately, in spite of all of the efforts at speaking survivors’ truth, debunking the myths, and helping the world understand that there is a difference between sex and rape, this message appears invisible in the very medium that many people are using to seek out organizations for help and information.

We can turn this around. What it will take is an intentional effort on the parts of local rape crisis centers, state and national coalitions to understand and utilize social media to get the truth out there.

Article marketing is one way that we could begin to get our messages out there. Remember, the best website in the world fails to create change if no one finds it. The most articulate leader will fail to gain followers if no one hears her voice. This is where marketing with your content comes in.

Article marketing is part of the comprehensive marketing process that gets your voice out into the wider world. The process is simple:
• create a 400-500 word article on a topic of interest to your audience
• syndicate it for online publishers through a content distribution system
• include a link back to your site, to drive readers there for more information

The article marketing process is a simple yet effective method to drive more traffic to your site and make it easier for your audience to find you. It also positions you as a recognized expert in your field. Having a number of published articles in your area of expertise creates a solid professional online "snap shot" of your work.

If the idea of distributing articles feels like an impossible increase in work, don’t forget that you already have much of the content. You have grant proposals, program descriptions, fact sheets, materials that your community education staff are using, training materials. You probably already have the rough materials for hundreds of articles that your audience needs to know. Once you realize this, your job is to organize it into short articles and develop a system to distribute them. It won’t be long that your information and a link back to your website will come up before the victim-blaming and abusive information.

To Blog or not to Blog? For Sexual Violence change agents, that is no longer the question...

Marianne Winters is a leader in the movement to end and address sexualized and domestic violence and is passionate about progressive movements that are visionary, inclusive, current, responsive and proactive. Some would say that she’s “all over the place”. She prefers to say that she thrives on variety and is energized by the multi-faceted, never ending, interconnected and always exciting work of social change. She is the Project Diva for Graphix for Change and consultant and trainer for Praxis for Change.

We work with leaders of rape crisis centers, coalitions and national sexual violence projects. Our job is to help them bring about the change they promote by utilizing the tools available on the internet. So, eventually, the conversation will come up about a blog. Usually, for those who have not yet begun to blog, they wrinkle their face, or make some other not so subtle non-verbal sign of resistance. So, here, at long last, Graphix for Change provides you with the Top 10 Reasons why advocates to end sexual violence should blog.

1. It’s not just for amateurs with too much time on their hands. Blogging got a bad rap when too many people with started blogging their brains out without citations, research, or letting facts get in the way of a good punch line. Now blogs are being used as a serious way to get your point across and to promote an organization’s mission.

2. Leaders need followers. Think of your blog as your leadership platform, as your way to reach your organization’s audience with your message.

3. It helps your reflect on your work and stay focused. Writing a blog entry requires that you clarify your position, help the public reframe and issue, and  how you hope they will act with regard to your issue.

4. Organizations are the experts. Blogging helps you build your expert status. Eventually your name and organization will become recognized as a key mover on your issue.

5. If you don’t join the conversation, you won’t be in it. Because of the explosion of social media, there are folks out there talking about your issues. Make sure that your perspective is out there through a blog, otherwise, the conversation could go down another path.

6. Public visibility attracts money. Blogging will help you become known to potential donors, funders, and supporters.

7. Dialogue on an issue is healthy. When people are reading and responding to your blog posts, it generates fresh and dynamic debate. This helps move your work forward.

8. Blog a shout out - have a friend forever. If you appreciate what someone has done - a reporter, legislator, board member, give them praise through your blog. This will resonate not only with the person you thank, but will let the rest of the world know that you appreciate the effort of your community.

9. The world needs to hear what you have to say - plain and simple. What if the world asked the question - How would you have me change? Your blog can provide the instructions.

10. Blogging is easy, fun, and free.

If you’re shy about blogging, our best advice is to just get started. It’s helpful to have a plan and to have some ideas for the types of information that you’d like to get across. Engage your staff and volunteers in topic ideas and invite guest bloggers to make an appearance.

I just googled the term sexual violence in the city where I live. Here’s the list of sites on page one. First, a link to the local sexual assault service provider, then a link to a training event that happened last year, next 3 defense attorneys giving advice to someone accused of sexual assault or domestic violence, and then some general business links to the local rape crisis center and some other law firms. Then I came across a listing of local newspaper articles on sexual assaults, then some links to law firms 90 miles from here and some national organizations.

Here’s the good thing about this list. If I were a victim of rape looking for help, I would have found the local hotline easily enough. Here’s the problem as I see it, putting on the hat of a sexual assault victim, while I would have found the local hotline, I would not have found any information that speaks to me in this moment. I easily found news and resources, yet I could not as easily find some of the key messages of safety, health, comfort and support. I don’t see any indication of what’s normal, what to expect, what to do. I can’t readily find out what will happen if I decide to call the hotline. Will I forced to report to the police? What are my options?

Then if I scroll through the entries, the problem gets worse. I find a YouTube video of a sex scene that is really a simulated rape. I find an entry in a website on college stories where a survivor of date rape shared her story and then received a long list of comments, some supportive, others victim blaming and abusive.

By building websites that also become platforms for news and information, for discussion and trends, to help communities engage and connect, that attract donors and supporters, our work is more often coming up on the front page. Yes it changes things, it often requires changing job descriptions, workplans, updating skills, and increasing knowledge, but the payoff can be huge – survivors can more easily find you, donors can more readily support you, communities can more easily engage with you.

Here’s an example of an organization that adopted a more optimized format for their website presence. The Enough Abuse Campaign in Boston, Massachusetts seeks to engage people in the prevention of child sexual abuse. Their website includes interactive ways to get engaged, information about the issue as well as about the organization, a blog, compelling images, and  most important, reasons for people to keep returning.

SV 2.0 - Definitions

Marianne Winters is a leader in the movement to end and address sexualized and domestic violence and is passionate about progressive movements that are visionary, inclusive, current, responsive and proactive. Some would say that she’s “all over the place”. She prefers to say that she thrives on variety and is energized by the multi-faceted, never ending, interconnected and always exciting work of social change. She is the Project Diva for Graphix for Change and consultant and trainer for Praxis for Change.

Let’s start with a quick definition of Web 2.0 – web development and web design that facilitates information sharing, interoperability, and user-centered design and collaboration. Google the phrase Web 2.0 and you’ll find many similar definitions. In other words, Web 2.0 is intentionally using websites and other electronic platforms for more than a static source of information. Some people disagree with the term Web 2.0.  They would argue that it’s just a broader use of the possibilities of the internet reaching more of a critical mass of people, organizations and businesses. Yes, many of the tools available now that help people network, socialize, engage, and sell their products were available all along. Now we’re taking advantage of the fact that they are now affordable and accessible to the average person. No longer do you need to have a small army of designers, database technicians, content developers and website technicians to have an interactive web presence. Now, with free and almost free tools, the average person and even the smallest grassroots organization can do what in the beginning was reserved for big corporations and institutions.

Which leads to the Question... What is SV 2.0?


Here’s our working definition – Sexual Violence 2.0 is the strategic and creative use of internet based technologies to address emerging issues in sexual violence while staying true to key values and principles essential to the movement addressing sexualized violence. In other words, SV 2.0 uses the tools in ways that promote the goals of the movement in ways that honor and promote the principles of safety, confidentiality, diversity, inclusion, accountability, justice and social change.

Finding Your Voice - The Five Words Approach

One of the biggest challenges for many of our clients, when they begin blogging and engaging in social media, is finding their true voice. Being able to communicate authentically begins with knowing who you are, and how you want to come across to your audience.

This article from Copyblogger will help. It will show you how to parse your identity down to five specific words. Then, when you write anything -- a blog post, a tweet, a Facebook status update, an email -- you'll have a guideline to go to. Re-read everything you draft and ask yourself if you've hit those five words.

This same idea is what we do in our first step of the "5 Questions in 5 Days" process with our clients. We ask them five specific questions designed to dig out their authentic voice, the change they want to make in the world, who they need to reach and what challenges they find in reaching them. It's a process that almost always results in a deeper understanding of their mission and how much easier it is to move toward it when they are coming from an authentic place.

What's your five words? Share it here and let's see the real you!

Musing About Tools

Recently I asked a random question on Facebook – What do people think are the most pressing issues facing nonprofit organizations today? I got many of the expected responses, most started with the phrase “not enough” – money, time, support, staff, diversity, information - all good answers and key issues.

One of the most compelling responses gets to the core of the issues of SV 2.0. Here it is "when people think they are doing social change because they have a Facebook page." It made me LOL because I could relate. I had to think about the many useless and trivial status posts (my own FB BFF’s excluded, of course) that we all have to weed through to get to the things that really matter.

Tools are just that – tools. I have a bunch of tools in my basement – hammers, saws, hardware, paint supplies, you name it. Yet, I still have some unfinished projects in my house – a hallway that needs to be painted, a floor that squeaks, an empty spot on my kitchen wall where a cabinet would be useful. I have the tools to do all of these things, but so far these things are not done. So, there must be more to getting the job done than just having the tools. Web-based tools have similar qualities. You need to have them, know how to use them, know what you want to accomplish by using them, and know how you’ll be able to tell what you’ve accomplished. That’s why we coined the term SV 2.0. We think of SV 2.0 as the bridge between the tools we can use thanks to Web 2.0 and the movement to address sexual violence.

At Graphix for Change, we coined the term SV 2.0 when we began to see the match between the goals of the sexual violence movement and the opportunities created by putting internet technologies to use toward our goals. we began educating our clients and putting these tools to work toward their efforts to organize their work, build their organizations, and promote the issues. Overall, SV 2.0 is a match between the emerging issues we face as a movement and the tools we need to get the work done. This series is aimed to get the conversation going about some specific uses of these technologies in organizing primary prevention based on the public health based theories contained in the social-ecological model and the Spectrum of Prevention. 

Here’s a brief look at the social-ecological model as it can be applied to most any issue that involves social change. 

Image Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sexual violence prevention: Beginning the Dialogue. Atlanta, GA: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; 2004.

This diagrams illustrates the levels of the social-ecological model. It identifies the inter-related levels of influences on any issue and can specifically be applied to the work to end and address sexual violence. Beginning with an understanding of these levels will help build an understanding of how best to use internet-based tools to promote our goals. The levels go from small to large, from individual influences, relationships, community, and societal.
