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.
