“Suicide prevention is a collection of efforts to reduce the risk of suicide.[1] Suicide is often preventable,[2] and the efforts to prevent it may occur at the individual, relationship, community, and society level.[1] Suicide is a serious public health problem that can have long-lasting effects on individuals, families, and communities. Preventing suicide requires strategies at all levels of society. This includes prevention and protective strategies for individuals, families, and communities. Suicide can be prevented by learning the warning signs, promoting prevention and resilience, and committing to social change.[3] Beyond direct interventions to stop an impending suicide, methods may include:

treating mental illness

improving coping strategies of people who are at risk

reducing risk factors for suicide, such as substance misuse, poverty and social vulnerability

giving people hope for a better life after current problems are resolved

calling a suicide hotline number

General efforts include measures within the realms of medicine, mental health, and public health. Because protective factors[4] such as social support and social engagement—as well as environmental risk factors such as access to lethal means— play a role in suicide, suicide is not solely a medical or mental-health issue.[5] Specific strategies. Social intervention

In the United States, the 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention promotes various specific suicide prevention efforts including:[33]

Developing groups led by professionally trained individuals for broad-based support for suicide prevention.

Promoting community-based suicide prevention programs.

Screening and reducing at-risk behavior through psychological resilience programs that promotes optimism and connectedness.

Education about suicide, including risk factors, warning signs, stigma related issues and the availability of help through social campaigns.

Increasing the proficiency of health and welfare services at responding to people in need. e.g., sponsored training for helping professionals, increased access to community linkages, employing crisis counseling organizations.

Reducing domestic violence and substance abuse through legal and empowerment means are long-term strategies.

Reducing access to convenient means of suicide and methods of self-harm. e.g., toxic substances, poisons, handguns.

Reducing the quantity of dosages supplied in packages of non-prescription medicines e.g., aspirin.

School-based competency promoting and skill enhancing programs.

Interventions and usage of ethical surveillance systems targeted at high-risk groups.

Improving reporting and portrayals of negative behavior, suicidal behavior, mental illness and substance abuse in the entertainment and news media.

Research on protective factors & development of effective clinical and professional practices.” -Wikipedia.

“Human rights movement refers to a nongovernmental social movement engaged in activism related to the issues of human rights. The foundations of the global human rights movement involve resistance to: colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, segregation, patriarchy, and oppression of indigenous peoples.[1]

A key principle of the human rights movement is its appeal to universality: the idea that all human beings should struggle in solidarity for a common set of basic conditions that has to be followed by all.[2] Human rights are moral principles or norms[1] for certain standards of human behaviour and are regularly protected as substantive rights in substantive law, municipal and international law.[2] They are commonly understood as inalienable,[3] fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being"[4] and which are "inherent in all human beings",[5] regardless of their age, ethnic origin, location, language, religion, ethnicity, or any other status.[3] They are applicable everywhere and at every time in the sense of being universal,[1] and they are egalitarian in the sense of being the same for everyone.[3] They are regarded as requiring empathy and the rule of law[6] and imposing an obligation on persons to respect the human rights of others,[1][3] and it is generally considered that they should not be taken away except as a result of due process based on specific circumstances.[3]” -Wikipedia

“The anti-rape movement is a sociopolitical movement[1] which is part of the movement seeking to combat violence against and the abuse of women.

The movement seeks to change community attitudes to violence against women, such as attitudes of entitlement to sex and victim blaming, and attitudes of women such as self-blame for violence. It seeks to promote changes to rape laws or laws of evidence which enable rapists to avoid penalties because, for example, victims are discouraged from reporting assaults, or because the rapist is entitled to immunity or because a rapist (as a defendant) is capable in law of denigrating the victim. The movement has been successful in jurisdictions, though many attitudes still persist, and despite changes to laws and significant increases in reporting of assaults, violence against women still persists at high levels.

The movement came about in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when new concepts of rape arose out of second wave feminism and the reevaluation of women's daily lives socially and with regard to the social institutions with which they interact. Prior to this reexamination, rape had been viewed as a "sex crime carried out by pathological men",[2] who were unable to control their own sexual desires.[3] Feminists began to emphasize the role of power dynamics specifically with regard to the perpetration of rape as a crime committed primarily by men against women.[4] This revised definition of rape was reframed from the perspective of the victim. The act of rape was asserted to be a way in which societal gender roles, the way someone acts out either masculinity or femininity, were enforced and the hierarchy of power placing males above females was maintained.[3] Rape was thus defined as a form of violence used to ensure male power, a form of social control over women and children.[5] Known as the "anti-rape" or "rape prevention" movement,[6] it was founded with the conceptions that sexual violence and violence against women more generally, is a tool of social control used to keep women in a subordinate position to men and that women need to take action, that aids victims of sexual violence to become "survivors" of violence instead of victims.[3] The anti-rape movement continues, with growing awareness in the United States public about the concept of rape culture, coinciding with the increasing popularity of feminism.” -Wikipedia.

“As noted in a previous post, a number of recent studies have provided a glimpse into the usually secretive world of pornography actors and actresses. Compared to matched community control groups, both male and female performers reported higher self-esteem, earlier age of first sexual experience, greater enjoyment of sex, and a far greater number of sex partners. (The latter finding referred only to sex partners outside their work in pornography.) In my previous article, I argued that porn stars are probably high in a characteristic known as sociosexuality. Sociosexuality refers to a person’s willingness to engage in sexual relations outside of a committed relationship and their interest in having a variety of sexual partners. This argument was based on the fact that both male (Griffith, Mitchell, Hammond, Gu, & Hart, 2012) and female performers (Griffith, Mitchell, Hart, Adams, & Gu, 2012) reported very high numbers of sex partners in their private lives, separately from their film work, as well as very high ratings of enjoyment of sex itself. A number of studies have looked at how sociosexuality and sexual promiscuity are related to personality traits.” -Psychology Today.

“Taking care of yourself after sexual assault

Common feelings

There is no right or wrong way to feel if you have been sexually assaulted. Everyone reacts differently, and a range of emotions are all natural responses to trauma. Some common reactions to sexual assault include:

Fear or anxiety of

• Who to trust

• A similar event happening again

• Being left alone

• Breaking down or losing control

• About what might have happened (especially if you can’t remember everything)

Anger at

• What has happened

• A lack of support or understanding from others

Helplessness

• Feeling a loss of control over life, or that the world is a dangerous place

Sadness for

• Being hurt, emotionally and physically

Guilt or self-blame

• Feeling somehow responsible

• Regret for things done and not done

Shame

• About what has happened

Detached

• Everything feeling unreal or strange

Physical sensations

Physical sensations are often reactions to stress and can develop several months after the event. Some common feelings include:

Feeling tense or irritable, uptight or panicky

Heart racing, or chest feeling tight

Dizzy or lightheaded

Stomach churning and loss of appetite

Difficulty sleeping or nightmares

Poor memory and concentration

Difficulty making decisions

Feeling depressed or low in mood

Change in sex drive.

Common thoughts and reactions

“I feel numb”

You may just feel numb. The event may seem unreal, like a dream, something that hasn’t really happened. Sometimes you might feel spaced out, or even disorientated – this can be the mind’s way of trying to shut out the experience.

“I have to keep busy”

Being active may help you to cope. But, overactivity can be a problem if you overtire yourself or your behaviour feels out of control.

“It feels like it’s happening again”

Sometimes people get ‘flashbacks’ – vivid memories or momentswhen they feel as if the assault is happening again. This may come out of the blue or be triggered by a particular place, event, thought or feeling, or even a smell or noise. It’s important to remember that these are the normal effects of an abnormal experience and the mind’s attempts to process what happened. It doesn’t mean you’re going mad and although it can be frightening when it happens, it is not dangerous.

“I feel jumpy or irritable”

You may feel extra sensitive to noises, sudden movements or even feelings in your own body, or feel as if you are always ‘wound up’ and can’t sit still.

“I don’t want to see anyone”

You may feel like being alone or staying away from places that remind you of the assault. You might stop going out or answering the telephone. It can help to get emotional support from others but this may be difficult if you have upsetting or complicated feelings about what has happened. However, being alone might also feel hard or frightening.

“I just want to run away”

You may feel like running away from it all. This may mean avoiding thinking and talking about what happened or using alcohol or drugs. Although this might make you feel better in the short-term, it might lead to more difficulties in the long-term. Everyone is different and you may experience some or all of these feelings at different times.” https://sarchelp.co.uk/support-guidance/taking-care-of-yourself-after-sexual-assault/.
