April is the #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth. To observe it under the current circumstances, we're staging a digital demonstration against SGBV!
To participate, create a placard with whatever anti-SGBV message you would like and (a) take an HD picture of yourself with it and send it to us, or (b) DM us and we'll sort the rest out. Image
1. Before engaging in any sexual act, seek enthusiastic consent.
Do not use force to get it.
Do not be manipulative to get it.

If she hesitates, let it go.
If she is silent, let it go.

Anything less than a "Yes" is a "No".

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
