SafeZone Competency Training at 性奴调教
About SafeZone
SafeZone is a training that is meant to educate members of the 性奴调教 community on topics relating to the LGBTQ+ community. We cover topics such as terminology around identities, experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals, history from the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and what it means or looks like to be an ally or advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.
How is the Training Structured?
Our training takes place in three phases. In phase one, we talk about terminology and LGBTQ+ experiences. In phase two, you learn more about trans+ experiences, as well as the experiences of Queer and Trans People of Color (QTPOC). Finally, phase three goes over the history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, as well as allyship and advocacy.
For our in-person training, phase one is two hours long, whereas phases two and three are each about one and a half hours long. You also have the option to take phases one and two asynchronously online once available. However, we recommend taking this training in person, as your engagement with the training will enhance your learning experience.
Who Should Take SafeZone Training?
Anyone at 性奴调教 can participate in SafeZone training! We have had staff, faculty and students go through our training. We believe that SafeZone training will offer you the knowledge and skills to support peers, friends, family, coworkers, and students.

Beyond Safe Zone Series
Beyond Safe Zone is a mini workshop series that aims to further expand LGBTQ+ allyship and advocacy education at 性奴调教. People who have been previously Safe Zone trained are encouraged to attend, however, workshops are open to any member of the 性奴调教 community who are looking for opportunities to expand their education on the LGBTQ+ experience.
