Problem
|
This website is the result of a semester long project in women's studies (WOMS 230) at Northern Illinois University. For this project we investigated rape and the way in which rape culture is propagated by modern media. We found that there are a lot of myths surrounding rape (which is a huge part of the problem), and that it can affect anyone. Throughout our research process we partnered with Safe Passage to become more informed, and held an awareness event on our campus. This project has helped to change the way in which each of us views the media that we take in everyday. It is this shift in viewing the world that makes education about these topics vital in the fight against rape culture.
