“I was raped”
As feministas que criaram o slogan de mau gosto “I had an abortion” estampado em T-shirts, lançam agora uma nova moda: “I was raped”.
«Why wear a shirt that says “I Was Raped”?
* Because wearing it lets others know that they aren’t alone.
* Because wearing it invites conversation about a silenced experience that so many women and men share.
* Because rape is a crime that someone did to you, against your will.
* Because, as Maya Angelou says, “I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.”
* Because you shouldn’t be ashamed that you were raped; the perpetrator should be ashamed.
* Because being public shatters the very silence that enables rape to be so common.
* Because naming what has happened is the first step toward changing the reality of rape.
* Because legal redress is rarely served, so it’s crucial to find our own justice and acknowledgment.
