Staying Strong and Working Together

So I chose to make a poster out of this image for a couple of reasons. I liked the message that it was sending before I even got to edit it at all. It shows what looks like a pretty strong and independent female who wrote a message on her body: "A respected athlete does not make you an entitled man." This shows that people cannot just get what they want based on the status they have. No still means no. But part of the reason I chose this was also because I wanted to use her as an example of people being able to stand up for themselves. The statistic that I placed on her forehead came from RAINN's website, along with the hotline phone number in the top left. I added that particular stat because I thought it was a pretty shocking number. I believe I used it in one of my earlier blog posts as well. The reasons why I added the hotline number and the phrase "You can help make this stop" is because I think this is a matter that only working together can help to stop. Many cases of sexual assault go unreported because people are too scared to ask for help. What I am saying is that if you suspect someone of being the victim of sexual assault, you should call the hotline and find out what you can do to help. It's as simple as that. If we all worked together to end sexual assault, it would take far less time and we could prevent many more of these incidents.
