The "No Zebras. No Excuses." performance-based training was brought to Naval Support Activity Naples, Italy by Director, Department of the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (DONSAPRO) Jill Loftus, Aug. 28. "The 'No Zebras. No Excuses.' program is a bystander-intervention program, and it's meant to teach people how to recognize a situation that may result in an assault and how to make the decision of whether or not

to intervene and act," said Jill Loftus. The group performed three times and are scheduled for two more shows Aug. 29 in order to accommodate the number of Sailors assigned to the Naples area, including a detachment in Gaeta, Italy. The program, created at Central Michigan University, is a one-hour presentation comprised of skits by actors who are trained sexual assault response coordinators and counselors. They bring to life real examples of sexual assault, bystander intervention, domestic abuse and harassment, both physical and verbal, while providing important

information on sexual assaults and avenues for victims of sexual assault. "Most service members are used to the Power Point presentations of sexual assault, so we created a program that would be more interactive and more intimate with the age groups of the highest percentage of sexual assault victims," said Loftus. The training was established as part of an initiative by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus to raise awareness on sexual assault and provide information on sexual assault prevention.
