Defeating Rape Culture

Any culture is supported directly or indirectly by the behavior of the people.

If our speech and actions contribute to and define culture, then does rape culture exist independent of us? Or are we actively contributing? Don't let this question hover on your mind. All concerned citizens are urged to attend this session and discover what really supports rape culture, and how to topple it.

Aditi Mittal

How many times do you find yourself gauging how you look through others eyes? Is someone's opinion of you more important than your own? When you get dressed in the morning how much of it is about how you will be perceived by your spouse, friend or co-worker? 

This mindset creates unnecessary stress. Learning to feel good about who you are and letting the choices you make, come from your own desires rather than a fear of what someone else will think, is the ultimate form of freedom. In this session, we will look at what leads us to hand our power away like this and what we can do to take it back.
