One of the most common questions we get: are your programs just for women?

Short answer:
No, absolutely not.

Real talk: We get why we’re asked this. This type of violence does disproportionately impact women and non-binary people. However, it impacts men, especially young boys too. As well as people who identify as LGBTQIA+.

It’s critical that our programs are inclusive of all genders, all sexual orientations, and types of relationships.

To create safer relationships, we all need to be part of the solution.

We seek to create safer spaces to be able to bring people of all backgrounds across your school, community, or organization to learn how to interrupt violence.

A quick follow up question is usually: will this be mindful of our cultural values?

Short answer: Yes, of course.

Real talk: One of the reasons we’re so happy to run Ruam Chuay is that we work in our own backyard and culture. Most of our team is raised in Thailand, are from Thai and Thai-Indian families and communities. We also have international experience and training.

A more effective way to prevent violence in our communities is with respect to our cultural values. We care about creating strong, healthy communities and family networks.

We work closely with any schools and organizations we go into to understand the values you have, in particular about sex and intimate relationships. Our programs are customized to meet your needs whilst effectively incorporating essential components to help interrupt harm.

We know this was a high-level answer. We’re happy to get into the specifics, do reach out with any questions you have.
