SafeBAE
SafeBAE is a survivor-founded, teen-led organization working to educate middle and high-school students about healthy relationships, dating violence and sexual assault prevention, affirmative consent, safe bystander intervention, survivor self-care, and survivor rights under Title IX. As the only national peer-to-peer organization of our kind, we help promote culture change by giving teens the tools to change peer behavior, end harassing re-victimization, become activists in their own communities, and spark legislative change both locally and nationally.
