In this episode of VALOR Conversations, Sarah and Abby sit down with Leah Aldridge to discuss harm reduction: what it is, how it can be practiced to increase opportunities for prevention, and the power it has to uplift survivors of sexual violence and harm. 

Friends for many years, Abby and Sarah have drawn from growing up in the punk subculture with a DIY ethos and experiences working to end sexual violence to connect support for survivors and harm reduction advocacy. Their conversation illuminates how harnessing uncommon practices can increase access to services for non-traditional survivors, prevent further harm, and support stronger, healthier communities.
