WHY DRAW THE LINE

WHEN TO DRAW THE LINE

HOW TO DRAW THE LINE

When we look away from sexual violence we make it easier for the perpetrator to continue – and the violence.

Sex with anyone against their will is against the law. Period.

There's always more than one option for a bystander. Take a stand safely and do something that you feel comfortable with. You could:

  • Support her. Listen to her story.
  • Believe her. Validate her feelings.
  • Find help for her. Offer community resources and services.
