  • Sobre Nós

    "You Choose Abuse: The Serious Game" is an experiential learning initiative hosted on YouChooseAbuse.com, designed to address the complexities of domestic violence through an engaging, "choose-your-own-adventure" format. Players assume the roles of individuals navigating the challenges of intimate partner violence, exploring real-world dilemmas faced by victims, offenders, and community members. Scenarios incorporate data, survivor testimonials, and interactive tasks like creating safety plans and role-playing hotline calls. The game fosters empathy, challenges victim-blaming attitudes, and highlights systemic factors that perpetuate abuse. It serves as a tool for training advocates, educating communities, and informing decision-makers about the multifaceted nature of domestic violence.

    The project also emphasizes collaboration through group discussions and facilitations, guided by principles of impartiality and cultural competency. It provides a safe space for dialogue on contentious topics like mandatory arrest policies, restorative justice, and economic abuse. The game's activities and supplemental materials are tailored for diverse audiences, including policymakers, healthcare workers, educators, and marginalized communities. By engaging participants in reflective, interactive experiences, "You Choose Abuse" not only raises awareness but also inspires action to create supportive and evidence-based responses to domestic violence.
