Press conference with LGBTQ leaders, legal experts, civil rights leaders and student advocates that Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ attended about the new Title IX rule. The U.S. Department of Education published its final regulatory updates that clarify Title IX protections for LGBTQ students, student survivors of sexual assault and pregnant and parenting students. Consistent with the reasoning of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Bostock v. Clayton County decision in 2020 the Department now clarifies that harassment on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or sex characteristics violates Title IX's mandate for federally funded schools to prohibit sex discrimination. In March 2021 President Biden issued Executive Order 14021 beginning the process of undoing the Trump administration's harmful actions undermining Title IX and protections for LGBTQ students and sexual assault survivors. In this virtual press briefing Shiwali Patel, Director of Justice for Student Survivors and Senior Counsel, National Women's Law Center conducted this intimate informative session joined by Brandon Wolf, Human Rights Campaign, National Press Secretary, Olivia Hunt, National Center for Transgender Equality Policy Director, Kenyora Parham, End Rape on Campus CEO, Kel O'Hara, Equal Rights Advocates Senior Attorney, Emily Bach & Andrew Davis who are student organizers with Know Your IX A which is a project of advocates for youth and concluded with Melanie Willingham-Jaggers, GLSEN's Executive Director.  As we celebrate this important milestone to protect our LGBTQ youth there's still much more work to be done. Schools have also been hampered by extremist efforts at the state and local level to target LGBTQ youth especially transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive youth. This year alone we're already dealing with more than 470 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in state legislatures nationwide mostly targeting our transgender youth. The new Title IX Ruling also does not protect the rights of transgender athletes to play and be part of a team. Every student including LGBTQ students should have equal access to educational opportunities throughout the entirety of their school experience.

LEARN MORE The post Saturday, 25th, November, 2023: Renee Carr- Exec Director- Fair Agenda- End Rape Now! Sexual Assault Crisis on Australian Campuses. appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

As our reality becomes more entwined with social media, an ever-increasing number of girls and women are engaging in self-objectification. And while gaining money, resources and agency may seem empowering, there are hidden impacts to this behavior that can have far-reaching consequences for women, girls, and our society as a whole. Today's guest, Dr. Caroline Heldman, describes this phenomenon as ‘the sexy lie' and outlines it in her new book The Sexy Lie: The War on Women's Bodies and How to Fight Back. Dr. Heldman has spent the bulk of her career engaging in issues around gender and social justice. She has published seven books on gender justice and politics and is a professor of Critical Theory & Social Justice at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Her work has been featured in numerous documentaries, including Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In. She is also the  Executive Director of The Representation Project, a political commentator for Spectrum and CNN, and co-founder of the New Orleans Women's Shelter, the Lower Ninth Ward Living Museum, End Rape on Campus (EROC), Faculty Against Rape (FAR), and led the End Rape Statute of Limitations (ERSOL) that successfully abolished the time limit on prosecuting rape in California. In today's conversation with Caroline, we tackle the difficult topic of how women are sexually objectified, the way it's normalized within mainstream culture, and how this makes it virtually impossible for women to achieve full value in society. Caroline provides a comprehensive breakdown of ‘the sexy lie' and how mistaking attention for power has led to the common misconception that self-objectification is empowering before unpacking the profoundly harmful effects of objectification on girls and women. Listeners will also hear her expert insights on the role of capitalism, profit margins, and the patriarchy in women's sexual objectification and the structural changes it will take to alter these entrenched systems of power. Our conversation also explores the insidious impact of objectification culture in the workplace before hearing some much-needed advice on what women can do to fight back against internalizing the sexy lie and how to change society for the better. It's no secret that our culture objectifies women, but by facing it head-on, naming it, and recognizing it for what it is, we can find new ways to ignite change and fight for better outcomes. Caroline is a deeply inspiring guest and I personally learned so much from this conversation.. Be sure to tune in to this today and share it with the men and women you know.   Key Highlights From This Episode: • Introducing Dr. Caroline Heldman, her definition of “the sexy lie” is, and the harmful effect this has on girls and women.  [01:52] • The overlap of power, influence and impact; why women tend to shun power; and how power is regularly defined in masculine terms. [09:57] • How society (de)values women; the gains and setbacks over the past few decades. [12:44] • The appeal of self-objectification and how we mistake attention for power. [15:14] • An overview of society's deeply entrenched anti-fat bias, diet culture, and the harmful misconceptions we have when it comes to weight and size. [17:15] • How to understand power in the context of monetizing your image, reinforcing the male gaze, and the consequences for one's self and broader society as a whole. [19:11] • Sexual objectification, how it dehumanizes people, and the many harms that this causes, especially for marginalized women. [24:17] • The serious impact of porn and social media on younger generations and their understanding of sex. [30:07] • Caroline's advice on how to navigate objectification culture: recognizing to what extent you've internalized the sexy lie, reframing your outlook, and changing your habits. [35:31] • How our culture of objectification affects women in the workplace, and the extensive work that still needs to be done when it comes to creating an equal and just society.

Freelance writer and activist Devi Jags ran cross country for Xavier University, but her collegiate experience included injuries in her sport and traumatic events such as sexual assault and relationship violence.  She now works with End Rape on Campus and Its on Us to educate student-athletes about how to be aware of the “Red Zone” (the months between August and November in which over 50% of sexual assaults occur on college campuses) and to help them find supports for mental health.  Devi shares her powerful story with Unit3d, as well as some of the advocacy work she is doing to help other student athletes have a better experience in sport and college than she did.

Throughout this podcast, we have discussed the ways in which sexual harm impacts survivors psychologically, emotionally, and physically. A less talked about consequence stems from abuse that occurs within the context of institutional environments that are expected to be safe.  In this episode we speak to Dr. Caroline Heldman an expert on the consequences of sexual harm that takes place within institutional environments. Institutional betrayal refers to the harm that an institution does to those who depend on it. As you will hear, this betrayal can be explicit policies or when an institution fails to respond to sexual harm. This is often seen in the context of college campuses, the military, and religions organizations.  Additional Readings and Resources: Faculty Against Rape The Hunting Ground End Rape on Campus The New Campus Anti-Rape Movement: Internet Activism and Social Justice – Caroline Heldman, Alissa R.

In today's episode, I speak with Chine and Chuba Ezekwesili. Also known as the Ezeks Twins, Chine and Chuba are interdisciplinary designers, artists, and founders of Akanka, a design studio on a mission to create Heaven on Earth. Akanka achieves this mission by partnering with other visionaries to design and build ventures and movements. These include Future Africa, Stand to End Rape, #FixPolitics, and the School of Politics, Policy, and Governance (SPPG). At Akanka, they have worked with global brands that include Google, The World Economic Forum, Yale University, Duke University, Nexford University, GIZ, and Open Society Foundation. We dive into how to apply the Ezeks Twins' nature-inspired Framework of Intention in 3 steps: slowing down to be present and get clarity, giving gratitude for what's in front of you, and taking responsibility so you can make use of life's lessons and blessings.

In October 2016, before Trump was elected, Eve Ensler gave a visionary call at the Bioneers conference for men to put ending rape culture front and center in their lives and work. Candidate Trump, said Eve, is a phenomenon – something larger than the person - because he's channeling the unprocessed darkness in the environment and swirling it into ever-greater darkness. He's carrying our collective karma, and we can change that. Since then, serial scandals have continued to escalate until the dam burst with the Weinstein wake-up-call and the cultural tsunami of the #metoo movement. It's a watershed moment, but little will actually change, says Eve, unless and until men step up to dismantle the patriarchy, transforming themselves in the process of ending this vicious system that destroys men's souls as well. The gender wound may be the deepest social wound of all. At this epic moment of seismic cultural change, what we do now will determine the future for decades to come. This is the moment to begin healing the gender wound once and for all. Please let us know what Eve's words mean to you. - Kenny Ausubel, Bioneers Co-Founder

The issue of consent to sex has been making headlines in recent years. Whether it's the #MeToo movement, discourse about rape culture, or simply more open discussions of sexual assault and violence, our evolving understanding of consent has recently been at the forefront of public debate. But how does the law define and regulate consent? How do institutions such as colleges and universities handle training around consent? And how do these institutions handle rape and sexual assault allegations? In this episode, Matthew Martinez Hannon interviews ABF Research Professor Laura Beth Nielsen about her research studying consent to sex on college campuses. Then, Matthew speaks to UMass Law Professor and ABF Fellow Margaret Drew, who will discuss her focus on domestic violence as a practicing lawyer and in academia. Finally, Matthew interviews Kristina Fluty, Assistant Professor at the Theater School at DePaul University, who also works as an Intimacy Director. All of the guests will touch upon how attitudes toward consent have evolved in recent years, how institutions create rules and handle training around consent, and how laws and regulations respond when consent is violated.

Rape prevention campaigners have slammed the Morrison government's “confusing” new consent education campaign for schools featuring bizarre videos of a woman smearing a man's face with a milkshake.Warning the videos fail to meet the National Standards for the prevention of sexual assault through education, advocates say expert revision of all of the current content is needed to ensure it actually works, and isn't harmful.The consent videos include “examples” of a woman being concerned about swimming in a beach because of sharks and a man with a spear gun trying to convince her to get in the water, and in another using an example of a man eating a tacos to explain sexual assault.Fair Agenda and End Rape on Campus Australia's Karen Willis told news.com.au the government's newly released school resources are concerning and confusing.“Young people are more sophisticated than this content gives them credit for. And sex and consent is far more complicated than videos about milkshakes and sharks at the beach,” Ms Willis, a prevention educator with 30 years experience, said.“These resources fall well short of the national standards, and what experts know is needed to actually change behaviours and prevent abuse.”End Rape on Campus founder, Sharna Bremner, said another major concern was the videos might re-traumatise rape survivors in the classroom.“We know that in classrooms of senior students, there will be many who have already experienced rape,” she said.“This resource fails to properly consider there may be a survivor in the classroom, and even includes inaccurate and inadequate information on avenues for support and reporting.” .The resources were launched by Education Minister Alan Tudge last month and followed Brittany Higgins's allegation of a rape at Parliament House and the national outcry that followed.Former Sydney school student Chanel Contos, 22, has also launched a petition called Teach Us Consent, calling for earlier and improved sex education.Fair Agenda and End Rape on Campus Australia are calling for the government to engage violence prevention experts to replace the site's modules on consent and to review all content to ensure it meets the National Standards — including challenging the gender stereotypes that help enable gender-based violence.Ms Bremner said: “Young people want and deserve training that practically and explicitly helps them understand how to ethically navigate relationships, and to recognise — and feel armed to challenge — unacceptable or coercive behaviour. As well as how to navigate non-verbal cues. It's clear these resources weren't written by people with expertise in violence prevention.”Advocates say there are multiple issues with the Good Society site's content, including:A bizarre ‘Yes No I Don't Know' video about going into water with sharksOften, instead of directly addressing the kind of behaviours a student is actually likely to be trying to navigate, the site provides confusing videos, including about milkshakes and tacos.Includes concerning messages like ‘sexual desire can really distort our thinking'Provides incorrect and inadequate information about abuse.“We need to actively challenge the notion that sex is about men pursuing women and persisting until they relent. We need to set an expectation that everyone should be seeking affirmative, enthusiastic and informed consent, and arming young people to understand consent is not just a once-off yes/no conversation. It needs to be present the whole time,” Ms Bremner said.Renee Carr, executive director of Fair Agenda, said despite the Morrison Government's claim the program has been developed in conjunction with Our Watch and the Foundation for Young Australians, this was not the case.Ms Carr said Our Watch did not help develop these resources.Along with other organisations Our Watch was engaged to consult on a confidential basis and she said was unable to share the advice they provided to the department on...

We'd say it was time to get festive, but this week it was just time to get SCARED. We watch Bob Clark's 1974 Canadian nightmare, Black Christmas. This film is technically the first slasher, and it's got it all: rowdy college students, a deeply unnerving killer, a discussion of bodily autonomy that is surprisingly nuanced, and a big ol' pile of existential dread for one of your cohosts. Eric digs into the details while Jaime finds out exactly what she's afraid of. Content warnings: strangulation, sexual violence, stalking, home invasion, anxiety, sexually explicit and violent language, and discussion of abortion and abusive relationships. This week, we donated to End Rape on Campus (EROC), a nonprofit working to prevent sexual assault through education, and engage in policy reform, connect survivors, parents, and friends with support networks, legal counsel, and mental health professionals.

Recently, stories of rape victims in Nigeria that were assaulted and some killed started circulating online. This episode helps bring awareness and also highlights the role that we might play in the culture of rape.

In the wake of several brutal rape cases making the headlines in the past few weeks, we ask “How Can We End Rape Once and for All?” In this episode of I Am Change Podcast, Korede Azeez speaks with Wuraola Abulatan, a communications professional and an activist who works as the Communications Team Lead at Stand to End Rape. We discuss rape culture, the kinds of amendments we need to make to our laws, the role each of us has to play in putting an end to rape, and more.

The session in which we discuss Rape Culture and the March to End Rape Culture (MTERC) with our guest, Arika Gold. Arika is a dedicated activist and community organizer. The MTERC is an annual event to raise awareness for Philadelphians about the widespread issues related to rape culture and what is being done to end it.  Rape Culture is ... (listen to Amanda Spitfire's poem in our bonus episode!). Also, rape culture is ... teaching girls and women to take measures to prevent rape instead of telling boys and men not to rape, light sentencing for rapists, rape jokes and people defending them, not believing people who say they were raped, street harassment, certain lyrics in pop music, support for athletes and celebrities charged with rape, blaming victims for destroying a career, blaming victims... Surely you can add to this list! The March to End Rape Culture is a safe space for survivors and inclusive of all genders, sexual orientations, abilities, ages, and races.  This year's March to End Rape Culture is scheduled for Saturday, September 28, 2019, from 11:00 am - 2:30 pm.                                  Rain or Shine at Thomas Paine Plaza (across from Love Park).  mterc.org  

Most of us have been exposed to the idea of Kink and BDSM in some form or another. Sometimes through a sanitized Hollywood-esque version like 50 Shades of Gray. Or (more likely) through male centric, online pornography. Neither of which bare much resemblance to reality. This month, we take a peak into (just a few) aspects of the Kink world. And what we found, might surprise you. Trigger warning: In addition to explicit descriptions of Kink in practice, this episode also deals with trauma related to sexual assault. If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, you can seek help by calling the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-HOPE (4673).

Jess Davidson, Executive Director of End Rape on Campus, and I sat down the week before Judge Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court on October 6th. The Senate was ripped apart over his confirmation, along with the rest of America, in light of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford accusing him of sexual assault. A survivor herself, Jess dedicates her days to preventing sexual harassment and assault from further permeating American culture. Listen as she leans in, armed with her own story, on the significance and lasting effects of this moment in history.

In October 2016, before Trump was elected, Eve Ensler gave a visionary call at the Bioneers conference for men to put ending rape culture front and center in their lives and work. Candidate Trump, said Eve, is a phenomenon – something larger than the person - because he’s channeling the unprocessed darkness in the environment and swirling it into ever-greater darkness. He’s carrying our collective karma, and we can change that. Since then, serial scandals have continued to escalate until the dam burst with the Weinstein wake-up-call and the cultural tsunami of the #metoo movement. It’s a watershed moment, but little will actually change, says Eve, unless and until men step up to dismantle the patriarchy, transforming themselves in the process of ending this vicious system that destroys men’s souls as well. The gender wound may be the deepest social wound of all. At this epic moment of seismic cultural change, what we do now will determine the future for decades to come. This is the moment to begin healing the gender wound once and for all. Please let us know what Eve’s words mean to you. - Kenny Ausubel, Bioneers Co-Founder

Days ago, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos scrapped Obama-era Title IX rules on campus sexual assault, plunging herself into a furious controversy. This episode goes beyond name-calling and looks at how colleges and universities could improve their policies."This harmful step in the wrong direction may cause survivors of sexual assault to go back into the shadows, Democratic Senator Patty Murray said of the DeVos guidance. The co-founder of the group, End Rape on Campus, Sofie Karasek, went further, claiming the aim of the new policy was “to protect those who ‘grab’ by the genitals and brag about it”. But Harvard Law Professor, Jeannie Suk Gersen, a longtime critic of the Obama Administration's 2011 letter to colleges and universities, wrote in NewYorker.com that if the DeVos statements "were made by a different official in a different Administration, they would seem rational, uncontroversial, and even banal."In this episode of "How Do We Fix It?," we discuss arguments over "rape culture" on college campuses and the need to be fair to both the accused and the accuser. We look at the difference between "preponderance of evidence" and "clear and convincing" evidence when judging Title IX cases. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
