There are many kinds of human relationships in the world. Those relationships could be between lovers, friends, or amongst family. However, sometimes in those relationships, violence could happen and hurt us, whether it’s physical, emotional, or even sexual. These violence were done by those closest to us. Relationships that lead to violence can be classified as toxic relationships. A lot of people are not aware that they’re a part of that toxic relationship.
SCORA and SCORP CIMSA UNAIR conducted a survey beforehand to the general public to measure their knowledge about toxic relationships. SCORA x SCORP CIMSA UNAIR also collected opinions about the general public interest surrounding toxic relationships. The survey states that a lot of people are still not aware about toxic relationships and prefer the discussion about toxic friendships. Based on this survey, SCORA and SCORP CIMSA UNAIR hold MORTALITIE or Movie Review and Talk Show about Toxic Relationship to increase the general public awareness regarding toxic relationship in friendships. This event was conducted to celebrate International Women’s Day which is celebrated every March 8th. .
MORTALITIE was conducted in two days, the 8th of March and the 13th of March 2021. In the first day, 8th of March, there was a training for SCORA and SCORP CIMSA UNAIR members. This event began with a session titled ‘Toxic Relationships: Sign, Help, and What to Do’.
