You Are a Million-Dollar Investment: Why No One Is Disposable

You’re not a burden—you’re a million-dollar investment. From birth to 21, society has already poured that much into you. Treating people like trash isn’t just cruel—it’s fiscally stupid.

We will continue to reach out to potential funders and apply for grants. We would like to continue offering this service to the communities that need support and healing.

Word of the Day: Victim. While some people prefer the word “survivor”, we use “victim” to refer to the people our clients have caused harm to because, unfortunately, we can’t be sure the individual has survived the harm. #CoSA #nomorevictims #nooneisdisposable #restorativejustice #wordoftheday

CoSA isn’t just a ‘hug-a-thug’ organisation. The individuals we support have family and friends. When we support the Core Member of the Circle and hold them accountable for their actions, we support everyone in their lives.
#CoSA #nomorevictims #nooneisdisposable #sexualviolenceprevention

We’re missing 94% of the assaults, and 58% of the complaints can retraumatise the victim by making them prove themselves in the court room. What will you do to help the victims?

The stigma around sexual offending is such that researchers are ostracised for studying it, therapists are ostracised for treating offenders, and non-profits that support ex-offenders are denied funding.
#CoSA #VirtualCoSA #nomorevictims #nooneisdisposable #restorativejustice #wordoftheday

Many people are ignorant of the facts of sexual offending. Some people are willfully ignorant; others are ignorant because society doesn’t talk about sexual offending. To reduce sexual offending, we need to stop being ignorant of the facts.

Trans people experience a huge amount of sexual violence. If our society is to eliminate sexual violence, we must eliminate it for _everyone_, because no one is disposable.

Society makes it extra difficult for males to express their emotions and speak up about any sexual harm they’ve experienced. Hold space for safe conversations about sexual violence.

The rate of SA against Indigenous women is approximately THREE TIMES HIGHER than among non-Indigenous women. Teach your loved ones that absolutely no one is disposable.

Popular opinion is that women are the only ones who experience sexual harm. Not so. Check on your boys and men. Please.

We must ensure people with disabilities are not bearing the burden of other people’s sexual needs if we’re to prevent sexual violence.

Family, friends, acquaintances, and neighbours are more often the perpetrators of sexual harm than total strangers are. Reduce SA by teaching your community to not offend.

We believe our clients should be able to face their victims in a Restorative Justice Circle and respond honestly to the questions. We are trained to deliver these materials, to prepare our clients for Restorative Justice. #CoSA #VirtualCoSA #nomorevictims #nooneisdisposable #restorativejustice

Sexual abuse in childhood is a major factor for future suicidal behaviour and can also be a source of post-traumatic stress disorder (www.suicideinfo.ca/local_resour...). #VirtualCoSA #nomorevictims #nooneisdisposable #restorativejustice

There are many reasons people don’t report sexual abuse, including fear of not being believed. It’s time to break the silence. Talk about sexual violence and sexual harm.

Primary prevention is the best way to reduce SA. Tell people about resources like Talking for Change (talkingforchange.ca). Let's stop using minors to fulfill adult needs. We can change our society for the better. #VirtualCoSA #nomorevictims #nooneisdisposable #sexualviolencepreventionmonth

There are no monsters. The people who cause sexual harm are often the people we love. We can hold them accountable for the harm they've caused while still loving them. Break the silence: speak out. #CoSA #VirtualCoSA #nomorevictims #nooneisdisposable #sexualviolencepreventionmonth

In 2021, the federal government of Canada introduced the Reduction of Recidivism Framework Act, clearly identifying the need for post-incarceration support. Where’s the funding? laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/R-4...

In the 16 months since we started meetings, Virtual CoSA has begun 21 Circles. Of those, 86% have proven fully effective. #CoSA #VirtualCoSA #nomorevictims #nooneisdisposable
