Sexual Assault Prevention - Stop Assault Before It Starts

I believe sexual responsibility also means helping others and keeping an eye out for your friends. We should all be respectful and honest, but sometimes situations arise none of us can predict. Trust your instincts and if you have even the slightest doubt about a situation, help your friend. Prevent a situation happening and you prevent someone becoming a perpetrator as well as a victim.

@MadamaAmbi

I don't disagree with you, but there is already a lot of information and campaigning out there with regard to what you are saying. I was trying to address the issue from the less publicised, less talked about perspective. I hope both perspectives work together.

Tina--my point is that the relationship of "perpetrator & victim" exists in the minds of young women/girls as well as in the minds of boys/men. Women/girls feeling powerless is as much a part of the problem as men/boys seeing women as objects. Women have internalized a sense of self in which they feel & act as "objects," frequently unsure if or when they "deserve" or have "caused" the rape. This is often why women won't come forward. Blame/shame or not, women need to learn POWER & defense imo

@MadamaAmbi:

The point of the video is that we need to start teaching people about informed consent. Whether a person has self-defence training or is drunk is irrelevant, we need to put the responsibility not on the victim but on the perpetrator. Getting someone drunk, feeling a sense of sexual entitlement or being 'owed', seeing women as sex objects, peer pressure, all contribute to this. We need to address the perpetrators attitude and where it comes from. Prevention AND cure. X

Tina--I like your video because it highlights one of the most banal ways Date Rape takes place, but my preference for stopping Date Rape in its tracks would be for women to learn to set absolutely clear boundaries and then to back them up with self-defense. IOW, rather than waiting helplessly (or drunkenly?) for someone to rescue her, I'd like to see the victim fight back and get up and leave. And then maybe tell all of her friends what she knows about her new so-called friend.
