End Rape On Campus

Consent is more than a single question - it is an ongoing conversation to ensure all partners involved are comfortable, safe, and on the same page.

Thank you @plannedparenthood for creating the FRIES model to help us better understand the different pieces that play a role...

Consent is an agreement between individuals to engage in sexual activity. It requires ongoing communication about boundaries and what each person is comfortable with. There are 5 Core elements of consent - that it is freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic, and specific.

Freely given: Consenting is a choice you make without pressure, manipulation, coercion or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Freely given consent means there is real choice and nothing trying to convince you to say “Yes” when you really want to say “No”.

Reversible: You are allowed at any time during a sexual experience to change your mind about what you want to do and what you are okay with. It doesn’t matter if you have done it before or if you have already started. You are always allowed to change your mind.

Informed: All must be equally informed in understanding what is going on or about to happen. You can’t consent to something you don’t have all the accurate information about!

Enthusiastic: If you are consenting to sex, it should be because you want to. Instead of looking for the absence of a “No,” enthusiastic consent focuses on looking for the “Yes” and other positive affirmations to signal comfort and enjoyment. Check in often with your partner!

Specific: Consent requires being specific about what you are asking and what your expectations are. It’s important to re-establish consent for all changes or escalations of sexual activity. Giving consent to one thing is not consent to anything else, and consent given in the past

is not the same as consenting to something in the moment.

1/ #DenimDay History: A Thread (Trigger Warning)

In 1992 Italy, an 18-year old girl is picked up by her married 45-year old driving instructor for her very first lesson. He takes her to an isolated road, pulls her out of the car, wrestles her out of one leg of her jeans and

2/ forcefully rapes her. Threatened with death if she tells anyone, he makes her drive the car home. Later that night she tells her parents, and they help and support her to press charges. The perpetrator gets arrested and is prosecuted. He is convicted of rape and sentenced

1/ “It was important for me to take part in this initiative because rape culture impacts trans women just as much as our cisgender counterparts. As a Black trans woman and survivor of multiple acts of sexual violence, my claims weren’t solely diminished because of my Blackness...

2/ but because of my gender identity as well. Some made the assumption that I “tricked” the perpetrators, therefore bringing it on myself. Other’s felt I was a liar to identify as a woman therefore I must be lying about the rape. Then, there were those who believed trans women...

3/ can't be raped because of society’s hyper-sexualization of trans bodies and the notion that we only exist for cis-hetero male pleasure; thereby forfeiting our bodily agency and right to consent. I want other Black trans women to know that I believe them...
