Active Bystander!

Quick story about a woman who saw a sexual assualt and the stopped it! Great to hear about people out there getting involved to stop sexual violence. Being in a place where you have the opportunity to stop a sexual assault like this is rare. But, it's important to remember that there are tons of ways to stop sexual assault.  A couple ideas:
  • Don't support the objectification/degredation of women and girls.
  • Challenge negative media.
  • Shake up gender norms in an effort to promote gender equality.
  • Make active consent a part of your relationships and encourage your friends to do the same.
Simple and effective. That's how I like it.  Any other ideas?
