1. Listen to and believe survivors
When a woman shares her story of violence, she takes the first step to breaking the cycle of abuse.
It’s on all of us to give her the safe space she needs to speak up and be heard.

4. Understand consent
Freely given, enthusiastic consent is mandatory, every time.
Rather than listening for a “no,” make sure there is an active “yes,” from all involved.
Adopt enthusiastic consent in your life and talk about it.

5. Learn the signs of abuse and how you can help
If you’re concerned about a friend who may be experiencing violence or feels unsafe around someone, review these signs and learn about the ways to help them find safety and support.

6. Start a conversation
Violence against women is a human rights violation that’s been perpetuated for decades.
It’s pervasive, but it’s not inevitable, unless we stay silent.
Use #orangetheworld and #16Days to speak up and take a stand against gender-based violence.

7. Stand against rape culture
Every day we have the opportunity to examine our attitudes for biases that allow rape culture to continue.
Think about how you define masculinity & femininity, and how your own biases & stereotypes influence you.
