Have you noticed? Rape culture is all around us.

It’s pervasive & rooted in patriarchal beliefs, power & control.

It normalizes & justifies sexual violence.

Every time a woman speaks up about her experience of sexual violence and she’s not believed, rape culture flourishes.

Every time you hear a survivor’s story:

1-Listen.
2-Believe.
3-Support.

Shocking statistics on the proportion of women authors in the @LancetGH: https://t.co/h5xs5qcS1S

"Overall, 5878 different authors contributed to publications between June 1, 2013 & Dec 1 2018 among whom only 2020 (34·4%) were women. Greater disparities emerged among LICs."

Six of my former classmates have committed suicide. A very close family friend also took his life a few years ago, with far too many friends both considering & attempting it too.

Just ring that friend who made that joke about it the other day, it might save their life. Please.
