How Society Perpetuates Rape Culture and What We Can Do About It
Rape culture is not just about individual acts of violence. It’s a broader system of beliefs, norms, and behaviors that normalize, excuse, or even promote sexual violence. It lives in the jokes we brush off, the questions we ask survivors, and the silence that surrounds certain conversations.
Understanding how society contributes to rape culture is the first step toward dismantling it—and creating a world where consent, respect, and safety are non-negotiable.
