Safe
spaces is about how schools need to have a safe space where students of the
lgbt community can feel safe in. It doesn't have to be a big sign on the
door but something simple like a rainbow flag sticker or books that relate to
the lgbt issues and things like that.
>the hyperlink I put
there is the statistics of the lgbt students being bullied.
It has the type of bullying and a prevention of it. It says that gay and lesbian teens are two to
three times more likely to commit suicide than the average teen. They are targeted because of their appearance
orientation and gender expression. It’s really sad that this has to
happen. This relates to safe spaces
because it shows that a lot of theses school and teens that are being targeted
don’t have the support from faculty and staff.
There so safe space for them to go to when this is occurring.
There
is a lot of projects and people trying to stop the bullying and trying to
create a safer environment
for the students.
>This
link is to a site that offers a kit to buy to send to schools to create safe
spaces. GLSEN's Safe Space Kit is a
collection of resources for educators to create a positive learning environment
for LGBT students. It contains a 42-page guide that provides concrete
strategies for supporting LGBT students, including how to educate about
anti-LGBT bias. It also comes with 10 Safe Space stickers and 2 posters to help
students identify supportive educators.
This is exactly what august is trying to get across in the reading Safe
Spaces.
