25 April 2024: Sexual Assault First Responder Training (Online Session)
Understand trauma reactions and learn tangible skills to support sexual violence survivors at this workshop by AWARE.
Please note this workshop will be online only (Singapore time). Participants will be emailed the Zoom link shortly before the session date. As a commitment to this training we will be asking all participants to turn on their video throughout the session.
“Are you sure that happened? Why didn’t you fight back? You should have known better.” These are some common responses survivors of sexual assault have heard, which may further their feelings of doubt, guilt and shame.
It is not always easy for survivors to tell someone about what happened; in fact, for some survivors, it can be especially daunting. So the way their loved ones respond becomes pivotal in their journey of recovery. First response that is sensitive to a survivor’s needs and choices is necessary in preventing re-victimisation.
This Sexual Assault First Responder Training helps familiarise participants with trauma reactions and symptoms to better contribute to a survivor’s well-being. In this workshop, we will share more on the following:
- Definition of sexual assault and harassment
- Recognising Singapore’s legal framework
- Understanding consent
- Understanding the impact of sexual assault and trauma on survivors
- Role of a first responder
- Providing support to survivors of sexual assault
- Resources available for help
- Key skills such as ensuring safety, active listening and empathy

27 April 2023: Feminism for All Workshop
Please note that users have experienced difficulties checking out on Safari – we recommend using Chrome or Firefox.
What does it mean to call yourself a feminist? What are feminist ideologies and how can we apply them to our daily lives? What are the most expedient ways to fight for gender equality?
These questions might not always have neatly defined answers. After all, the ideas and the discourse around feminism can be complicated – especially when theory comes up against the complexities of reality.
Feminism For All is a workshop for anyone who wants a dedicated occasion to discuss, unpack and gain a better understanding of feminism. Whether you are curious to learn more about gender equality in the Singaporean context, or want to advance along your own feminist learning journey, this interactive workshop will provide an overview of the foundational principles behind the movement, outline how they inform AWARE’s work, and empower you to apply various feminist values to your daily life.
This hands-on, in-person masterclass led by AWARE members will have interactive segments, including small discussion groups and presentations.
Workshop outline:
- Introduction to key terms
- Brief history of feminism
- Overview of core feminist concepts
- Feminism in Singapore
- AWARE’s work
- Q&A
The entry fee for this event will go towards refreshments for all attendees.
