An Activist Kit - Support Phase
now availiable for download!

In the Support Phase, the SASA! Team engages the community in offering support to one another - joining their power with others to confront the dual pandemics of violence against women and HIV/AIDS.

The Support phase now helps people connect with each other and start in small and safe ways to begin changing these norms. During the Support phase we emphasize coming together with a shared belief in new community norms—ones that support mutual respect and shared power between women and men. Joining one's power with others’ means joining power with those who are in crisis, those who are making new, positive choices in their lives, and those who are speaking up and reaching out.
