Introducing Some of PV High’s Newest Clubs
End Sexual Violence Club
(Presidents: Maddie Ahn and Te-Han Kim)
Q: What inspired you to create this club?
A: “We were inspired to make this club because we wanted to be able to prevent people from experiencing the trauma of sexual violence and prevent the impact it could have. Although we do not have full control over what happens in one’s life within sexual violence, we are still able to help the youth as we show them what happens in life, and what we could avoid to prevent [facing] these traumas,” junior Club Secretary Sofia Daneshvar said.
Q: How is your club going to connect with students on campus?
A:“We hope our club helps connect with students on campus as they come together and understand that this is a serious incident that happens everywhere in the world.
As we speak with them, we would also remind students that sexual violence is not only a single gender issue, but both. As we all come together as a community, we are able to help each other.
Communities and places where everyone is treated with respect and equality is attainable,” Daneshvar said.
Q: Any upcoming events or plans for your club this year?
A: ‘We will most likely be meeting on the first Tuesday of every month and we plan on having guest speakers come in and share their experiences. As club members, we will share what we can do as people to prevent sexual violence, and what we can do to avoid it,” Danshvar said.
Q: What are your future plans/goals for this club?
A: “Out main objective for this
club is to stop sexual violence before it has the chance to happen. [Another goal is] for our community to know that there are ways to avoid sexual violence.”
