16 Days Of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (Iv) Standing Against Rape Culture

Rape culture is essentially and environment in which rape is prevalent and has been normalisation due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality. It is the acceptance of abuse of women as typical, customary or routine. On a daily basis, we have to critically engage with our own behaviours and beliefs to eliminate the attributes that perpetuate rape culture.
