Jessika Rovell Speaking Topics

  • Making It Personal: Sexual Violence, Survival, and Support

    This engaging and inspiring talk confronts traditional thinking about sexual assault and domestic violence and empowers audiences to play an active role in prevention and response.

    When Rovell first experienced sexual violence, she was a dean’s list law student and a newly enlisted U.S. Navy Reservist. She was just starting her legal and military careers, and refused to allow sexual violence to define the future she was building. Rovell is a thriving survivor, and this is her story.

  • Myths vs. Facts: Straight Talk About Sexual Violence

    This direct and revealing talk confronts longstanding myths about sexual assault and domestic violence, challenging audiences to shift their posture from reactive to proactive and play an active role in sexual violence awareness, prevention, and response.

    For this program, Rovell uses her personal story of sexual assault and domestic violence survival to address popular sexual violence myths:

    • "Drug and alcohol use cause rape and domestic violence."
    • "Women’s dress and behavior provoke rape."
    • "Men can't be raped."
    • "If it was that bad, she’d just leave."
    • "Only certain types of women get raped or abused – not me."

    She talks about her personal denial of victimhood due to her own susceptibility to such myths and empowers participants to use what they learn to actively debunk their own myths to promote personal and community safety. Participants are asked to consider the neurobiological mechanisms which encourage us to passively accept myths, rather than actively acknowledge reality.
