The Sexual Behavior Research and Practice SIG unequivocally affirms that Black Lives Matter, and calls on our fellow SIGs of Association for Behavior Analysis International® as well as the organization at large, to do the same.

We invite you to examine sex education as a vehicle for racial justice, and also to examine steps for harm reduction and transformative justice (with regard to harmful sexual and relationship behavior, as well as all harmful behavior) with your clients and communities as an ongoing antecedent intervention to minimize the need for reliance on punitive systems which can exacerbate client and community harm.
