Sex Abuse Survivors Network of California

We're a survivor-led network that provides news, resources, advocacy & hope for survivors of sex abuse. Taking on leaders and institutions that protect abusers.

Being worn down by someone who repeatedly asks for sex is not #consent. That's #coercion.

We want to give our sincerest thanks to the gaming community and everyone who has donated to RAINN this week. Also, thank you to those having discussions online about sexual assault, abuse, and/or harassment, standing up for survivors, and sharing resources.

If you use your position of power to manhandle women, touch & kiss your subordinate staff, and/or sexually banter with people who report directly to you in the workplace, you are not fit to serve in public office. That's predatory behavior. We're calling on @NYGovCuomo to resign.

Silence does not equal #consent.

#Consent must be:
🟣 Freely given: Without pressure
🟣 Reversible: Change your mind anytime
🟣 Informed: You have all the facts
🟣 Enthusiastic: You're excited to participate
🟣 Specific: Each act requires consent

Consent cannot be obtained by abuse of trust, power, or authority

[National Sexual Violence Resource Center @NSVRC]

Age-appropriate lessons on consent are about empowering kids to make their own choices and respecting the choices of others. https://t.co/6l8ipQfzqB

[Sex Abuse Survivors Network of California @AbuseResources]

Important reminder that unequal power dynamics prevent #consent from being freely given.

That's one reason why the @StateBarCA approved new ethics rules in 2018 that prohibit sexual relationships between attorneys and their clients.

@wearamaskdumbas @RAINN We are not affiliated with @RAINN, thank you for the inquiry. We do direct survivors and allies to RAINN's robust compilation of resources, including their national sexual assault hotline, which is available 24 hours a day / 7 days a week, and staffed by trained professionals. 💜

@KHubb83 @latimes This is a very troubling post, Mr. Hubb. You are a grown man attempting to normalize the sexual exploitation of a 17 year old teen. Then you go on to suggest the exploitation was her fault. Please stop victim-blaming & propagating dangerous myths about predatory abuse of power.

[Sex Abuse Survivors Network of California @AbuseResources]

@latimes Abusing your position of power by grooming young women online, including teenagers, is predatory abuse. Chris D'Elia has demonstrated a pattern of abusive behavior that has harmed women as young as 17. Hollywood & the comedy circuit must stop glorifying & protecting predators.

@JudiciaryGOP @Jim_Jordan We're calling upon Congressman @Jim_Jordan to resign. Jordan has been credibly accused of covering-up sex abuse when he was an Assistant Coach at Ohio State University. Sex abusers, and those who cover-up or enable sex abuse, are unfit to serve in public office. #ResignJimJordan

@moorehead_agnes @sarbetter @SenatorBiaggi Sounds like you've never been sexually harassed, coerced, or assaulted by a powerful perpetrator. The best thing you can do right now is listen to survivors. Please stop propagating dangerous myths about trauma & predatory abuse. It's harmful to survivors.
