Description
To kick-off Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Women's Center and We Believe You are hosting a screening of Cameron Esposito's stand-up routine, "Rape Jokes." Rape Jokes is a standup special about sexual assault from a survivor's perspective. Esposito explores how rape jokes have entered mainstream comedy and provides a powerful critique of rape culture.
After the viewing, the Women's Center will have a few activities for viewers to process and react to this powerful piece! We'll be discussing survivorship, consent, and how mainstream comedy perpetuates rape culture.
This event is free but we will be accepting donations to RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization.
RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network) is the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE) in partnership with more than 1,000 local sexual assault service providers across the country and operates the DoD Safe Helpline for the Department of Defense. RAINN also carries out programs to prevent sexual violence, help survivors, and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice.
