Often times women who are victims of violence feel alone, afraid and trapped and don't know where to go. The girl in the video is experiencing the same as she runs throughout a dark basement, hiding from an unknown force. She is finally released from this world and is outside free and able to not feel alone anymore.

Center on Halsted Youth Program - Center on Halstead
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Due to the drop-in nature of the youth center, we agreed to leave the process open-ended in order to invite as many voices as possible. We held four group meetings over four weeks for brainstorming and filming. The participants were invited to be on film or to simply engage in the dialogue. The video represents just one of these dialogues. Our group members represented the diversity of the center, including gay, straight, transgender, lesbian, Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic and various other people. Each groups' discussions varied, but a consistent theme was that the LGBTQ community as a whole has experienced much gender-based violence in the form of verbal, emotional, physical and systemic acts. These personal stories indicate the violence that occurs when people step out of "traditional" gender roles in order to be true to themselves.

The video is about the choices the young men face every day, particularly in regard to gangs and drugs. Creating the video provided opportunities for the teens to examine and discuss their views about drugs and gangs and to learn and/or hone a myriad of skills as they wrote the script, generated storyboards, created the original artwork and titles used in the video, scouted locations, and did the actual videography.

Our second video, titled "Molestation", is a PSA urges victims of molestation to speak out and get help. The students make a direct appeal to the audience, saying those that are silenced about their experiences with molestation should take matters into their own hands and feel empowered to stand up for what is right.

Our first video, "Domestic Violence", is a PSA that encourages victims to take a stand against violence that happens in domestic situations. It includes student dramatizations and statistics.
The slogan "Kill domestic violence before it kills you", is a call-to-arms to take measures against violence and for women to recognize their own value and self-worth.

A member of our group wrote a spoken word piece about dating violence and we turned it into a skit for the Chains of Change video. In the first skit, Part 1: The Mistake, a young woman falls in love with a guy who physically abuses her. In Part 2, the second skit, the same young woman talks about how it might feel if she became the abuser and her partner was the victim. This spoken word piece is called "What If?" We included both pieces in our packet to you.
