#whyididntreport is a powerful, emotional response to trump’s insensitive, disgusting tweets this morning. to all the survivors who shared their stories on the platform - we hear you, we believe you, we support you. your voices matter. ❤️
"we need to stop chalking up sexually aggressive behavior as just part of the male experience. because when we do, we become comfortably apathetic to the fact that enduring sexual violence is part of the female one." –– alanna vagianos

we NEED to change society’s views around sexual violence. the rape culture we live in makes survivors feel like what happened to them was their fault and/ or makes them doubt what happened to them. listen, believe & support survivors, always.

👏 👏 @refinery29 breaking down consent. getting consent once isn’t enough. consent is an ACTIVE, ONGOING process that involves communicating & listening to one another. it also means paying attention to your partner’s body language because consent has to be enthusiastic. 🙌 🙌
consent is specific. agreeing to one thing is NOT an agreement to anything else! and getting consent is an ongoing process so make sure you check-in with your partner. .
