Temple University-like most American college campuses-has a problem with rape culture. Rape culture is the perpetuation of rape, and non-consent-based sexual experiences, through language, attitudes, or mindsets. This can be expressed through jokes, slang, stereotypes, and many other subtly ingrained behaviors. Not only are these attitudes unfair to those being discriminated against but they can lead to real and unwelcome actions.
S.O.A.R. (Stand Out Against Rape) comes to you with an alternative to the mainstream mindset. We are here to challenge you to think about what is right and noble, rather than what is easy and popular. We challenge you to take action again the rape epidemic that is plaguing our college campuses. And we challenge you to challenge yourself-analyze your own beliefs and actions and think about how they affect someone else.
