Special Projects

SAFE BARS is part of WOAR’s Safer Philadelphia initiative. Its aim is to equip bars and other alcohol-serving establishments with strategies to prevent sexual harassment and alcohol-facilitated sexual violence.

Bar Keeps, managers and servers participate in a two-hour training to learn effective prevention strategies to maintain a safe environment for patrons and how to effectively intervene if a patron is being sexually harassed. Bars and alcohol-serving establishments which participate in the SAFE BARS training receive a one-year certification and Safe Bars Swag Kit.

The Healthy Masculinity Initiative is an education and outreach program that facilitates guided discussions in safe spaces about masculinity, traditional male gender roles, and sexual violence prevention. HMI supports males in the development of emotional literacy as well as aligning males as allies to prevent sexual violence.

HMI also provides educational workshops to train males in sexual violence prevention strategies. HMI works with individuals and male servicing organizations throughout Philadelphia.
