Abstract

Sexual violence is a prevalent and harmful issue facing youth in schools. The victims of sexual violence are predominantly female and often adolescents, who suffer a myriad of physical, social, mental, and academic consequences as a result. School counsellors play a role in working to prevent sexual violence to protect the mental health and equal access to education of the students they serve. This capstone seeks to explore how to prevent sexual violence between adolescents from a feminist perspective through reviewing literature on risk and protective factors that lead to male adolescent sexual violence perpetration. Using the information from the literature review, a curriculum is designed that can be delivered in a school setting to decrease risk factors and increase protective factors and therefore prevent sexual violence perpetration between adolescents.
