Watch the video campaign below:
Focusing on the root of the problem of rape in many societies.
RAPE CULTURE: Rape culture is allowed to continue when we buy into ideas of power that see violence and dominance as ‘strong’ (male or female), and when the victim (male or female) are less valued.
It is also underpinned by victim-blaming, an attitude that insinuates a victim rather than the perpetrator bears responsibility for the assault.
When discussing cases of sexual violence, a victim’s sobriety, clothes, and sexuality are irrelevant. Instead, counter the idea that the perpetrators must obtain power through violence and question the notion of sex as an entitlement. WHOEVER YOU ARE YOU SHOULD KNOW:
– You can not silence a victim
– You can not blame the victim
– You can not hide for too long
– Your masculinity or status in society is not an excuse
– The victim will get justice
– That what you did in secret would hunt you in the future
– You must unlearn the rape culture now
– You should seek help quickly if you are battling uncontrollable urges
– Date-rape is RAPE
– NO CONSENT IS NO
– A MINOR MEANS NO
– NO is NO
The hurt and hate is never worth it, stop rape and stop it now before it becomes too late.
