SEXUAL HARASSMENT: DATE RAPE Video, plus interactive program. Audience participation encouraged. A gentle lesson in empowerment for freshmen orientations, dorms, women studies programs, health education, sociology and psychology departments. For young women today, date rape and sexual harassment are an all too common experience. In this moving documentary women discuss their experiences and suggest ways of dealing with sex harassment and acquaintance rape; which is not an act of passion, but is one of intimidation and force.
TOMBOYS ARE GREAT! Video, plus interactive program. Females from different parts of the United States, of different races and ethnicity, describe their love of movement and sports. Physical activity has brought them much happiness. "I really feel good about myself and really feminine!" All of these females were called Tomboys in a derogatory manner. They, however, did not allow that to stop them from being involved in sports. The unhealthy stereotype of a passive, 'good', little girl is described as an excellent seeding ground for later anxiety, depression and dependency. The healthiest thing a little girl can be is a "Tomboy", because "Tomboy's are great, just little girls that like to move around and be free."

Dr Pollner, a New Yorker and trauma expert, who witnessed the WTC tragedy, will lead an interactive video program with audience participation.
