The silencing of survivors happens in many (nuanced) ways. One of them is the attitudes that are held by those in positions of power. #BelieveSurvivors #StopTheViolence
When those in power express their problematic attitudes and mindsets, survivors become unwilling to employ the mechanisms that are available to access the assistance they need.
We all carry the responsibility to understand sexual violence for what it is, and to unlearn the problematic mindsets which drive and aggrevate sexual violence in our communities.

We've created a short brief on what rape culture is, and, most importantly, how each of us can help #EndRapeCulture in Namibia.
Please help us share these important notes!
#MeTooNamibia
To #EndRapeCulture, we need to understand what it is, what causes it and the ways in which it manifests in our society.

These graphics help explain Rape Culture.
But, understanding Rape Culture may not always be enough for us to act.

Statistics from the Namibian Police (as published by @theconfidente) paint a horrifying [and yet, probably understated] image of the extent of SGBV in Namibia.

There are no grey areas; consent is as simple as A, B and C. Image
All parties about to engage in a sexual act must agree, every single time. #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture Image
The parties must all understand what they are about to do; that they are about to engage in a sexual act. #ConsentIs #EndRapeCulture Image

We hope that during the COVID-19 pandemic, each one of us is practicing sound hygiene in order to prevent and contain the spread of the virus, and to complement the government's efforts in averting a public health crisis.
Remember to wash your hands! Image
Since the virus is highly contagious, the containment of its spread requires us to maintain social distancing as far as we can.
Use this time to unlearn, relearn and re-energise your advocacy! Image
Although the virus has not been proven as "airborne", if you need to cough or sneeze, the practice pictured below is recommended. Image

The Combating of Rape Act 8 of 2000 defines Rape as, "the intentional commission of a sexual act under coercive circumstances."
This means that any sexual act where coercion is applied before or during the act constitutes a charge of Rape. Image
Any sexual act in which results from the application of physical force constitutes a charge of rape.
For example, if you beat someone up in order to have sex with them, it is rape. Image
Any sexual act which results from a threat to use physical force constitutes a charge of rape.
For example, if you threaten to strangle someone in order to have sex with them, it is rape. Image

We hope you'll join us on the 14th March from 10AM at Protea Hotel Furstenhof at our Meet and Greet in commemoration of International Women's Day.

We will also have a panel discussion which will center around Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), the work of anti-SGBV organisations and movements, and how we can all actively and intentionally create an equal and violence-free society for women.
Seats to this event are limited.
