Require all middle schools to teach students not to rape, all gender equality, and not to dehumanize any gender.

Created by F.C. on April 27, 2015

Schools around the country are filled with students that may not be educated on what qualifies as sexual harassment, rape, sexualzation, ect. Girls are constantly being told that wearing leggings, yoga pants, shorts, or tank tops is "distracting." Girls are told in health classes how to avoid rape and how to dress to minimize the possibility of being sexually harassed. Boys are never taught by schools how to respect girls. Respecting girls is not treating them like fragile creatures that are inferior to boys. I need a change to happen. I need to feel safe walking home by myself. I need to know that sexual harassment isn't just something I can hope to avoid in life. I need to fell comfortable in my own body. I need to know that I can hope to be more in life than an object for a boy to shape
