Mandate sexual violence lectures in educational institutions
The Issue
I’m so angry atm. The amount of protection for sexual abusers in Bristol and the events industry is ridiculous. There are people that are actively platformed by companies and men.
Even when people are told about their actions demand that they need more information or evidence that something wrong has happened just because it’s easier than losing a friend or to have a hard conversation.
By choosing to not question or hold these people to account, you are complicit. The perpatrators say they are anti rape and pro consent. They lie to you through hollow words.
You know who these people are.
What can you do though?
If you’ve heard of allegations towards a person, you have a duty to question the accused. If they have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear by asking them.
If they do have something to hide, then you have to question your friendship with them. Hold them to account so that they don’t continue assaulting more people.
If hold them to account and they continue to rape and assault our communities, then you have to cut ties woth them. You have to warn others about there actions.
If you stand with them, the only thing you do is prove to victems of sexual violence (like myself and many of our friends) that you are not safe to be around. All it tells me is that you might be the next rapist or apologist.
Sexual violence is a significant problem worldwide, with a study by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center indicating that one in five women and one in 71 men will experience rape at some point in their lives. In the UK, figures from the Office for National Statistics show that approximately 1 in 20 adults reported being a victim of sexual assault or attempted assault. These statistics illustrate the urgent need to address this crisis in educational spaces where it can have an enduring impact on young people.
By introducing compulsory lectures on sexual violence at all educational institutions, we can begin to change this narrative. These lectures should be designed to educate students about consent, the long-lasting impacts of sexual assault, and the importance of bystander intervention.
Compulsory sexual violence lectures can help foster an environment of respect and safety, encouraging open dialogue and preparing students to be active advocates against sexual violence. This approach is a necessary step in cultivating a culture where survivors are supported, and potential perpetrators are influenced to change their behaviour.
Therefore, I am calling on educational institutions, especially those in Bristol, to take immediate action by implementing mandatory annual lectures on this critical issue. We can no longer afford to ignore the problem or expect it to resolve itself.
Please sign this petition to ensure that every student is equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to combat sexual violence, creating a safer and more inclusive community for all.
