Seeking Support We Need to Stop Treating Rape Like an Inevitable Part of Life

https://c.org/VL92nSdR4f

The Cornell Seven case reopened because of public pressure and a viral story. But here's the thing: it shouldn't take national attention for a victim of sexual violence to be taken seriously. It shouldn't take celebrities speaking out or thousands of people becoming outraged before institutions decide that someone's suffering matters.

That's why I started a petition to demand real change—10 concrete demands for prevention, investigation, survivor support, and accountability. Universal consent education. Serious investigation of every report regardless of who the accused is. No more institutional cover-ups. No more retaliation against people who speak up.

These aren't soft asks. These are demands for systemic change so the next person who reports sexual violence doesn't have to become a national story just to be heard. Does this resonate with you? What would you want someone to do if this was your family?
