When we examine our world today, it’s clear that we’re living with some pretty messed up realities.

We live in a world where women are called “sluts,” “bitches,” and “whores.” We live in a world where people are pressured into having sex when they don’t want to. We live in a world where rape is the punchline of many jokes. We live in a world where sexual violence is another tool in hate crimes around sexual orientation, gender identity, or race.

We live in a world where sexual violence is an everyday occurrence.

Why are we okay with this?

Accepting things the way they are is a choice. We have the power to demand better of ourselves and our world.
