A student team from the University of Maryland has constructed a Public Service Announcement about the importance of Rape and Sexual Assault prevention. While rape and sexual assault cases garner widespread media attention, there is still much confusion around what constitutes rape-behavior...victims are still blamed, and people are still unaware of complexity of these issues. Please watch the following video and forward it to 10 friends to help clarify what rape is, and what we can do to prevent it.

  • StormZephyer, that is exactly what we wished to do. We wanted to demonstrate that men do not take the issue seriously and that women are blamed for having been raped.

    Then we move on to show how men aren't aware of what constitutes rape. These are two separate issues we decided to address.

  • Wow!!! this is the most creative and effective PSA concerning rape that I have ever seen. Everyone should send it to others and get them to watch it. My mind has really been changed. SEND THIS VIDEO ON!!!

see all

  • love, love, love this!! :D

  • this is really good!

  • great job on the psa. was it intentional to only discuss female rape victims, cause men also get raped. What's even crazier is that the state of Maryland only defines rape in terms of 'virginal entry' which seems to exclude male victims.

  • Someone should tell that to LIONS, TIGERS,and BEARS LOL! No but for real fellas don't be rapen chicks cuz you can't get none. IT IS WRONG AND YOU WILL GO TO JAIL AND BE TREATED THE SAME WAY SERVES YOU RIGHT!

  • Wow this is hit hard, how could you rape someone without thinking about your mother, sister, or even worse your niece!

  • the segment on the awareness poster hit a nerve. jokes about rape are not funny. you'll never know if the person you say one of those jokes to, or about, has been a victim of rape.

  • This is excellent and very well-made. I think the issue about the vandals is that while they don't necessarily "support" rape, the fact that they think it's okay to write things like that (as a joke perhaps) simply points out many (but not all) thoughts that people associate with rape and victims of rape. Anyway I think the presentation is great and the message is clear, so good job!

  • The reason this concerns me is because by citing actions such as these in the presentation, the perpetrators of the vandalism are given precisely the attention they want.

  • While it is certainly true that the vandals do not take the issue seriously, I feel that they are nonetheless very aware of who is truly to blame in an act of rape.

    They seek to cause as much anger, shock, and disruption as they can with their vandalism. It has nothing to do with the issue of rape itself.

    Perhaps I am more cynical in my view of people like these. I see them as malign, not simply products of a culture that teaches them that women can "invite" rape upon themselves.
