Help End Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is an issue rooted in social expectations about gender, power, and sexuality. In order to end this type of violence, we must examine the ways in which our own behavior reinforces unhealthy expectations. Only by taking a closer look at our own beliefs and prejudices can we move our society from rape culture to consent culture.
