Once you know someone is guilty of sexual abuse & you choose to still support them or any type of organization that supports them, you are saying you are ok with it. #takeastand #makeadifference #sexualabuseisnotok #actionspeakslouderthanwords #itisnotok #dontsupportmonsters #ladymcp https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHkc1PhVFI/?igshid=1ah044qpgdddy

Sexual abuse of teenaged girls is prevalent all across the world. These Senegalese girls, via the Youth Wome for Action initiative, are bringing to light this evil and calling for an end to the culture of silence. #itisnotok and must be brought to a stop. Abusers must be held a countable for their actions.

This is an article on Glamour by a blogger that went to a Naked Resort in Jamaica called "Hedonism", about her experience there on sexual harassment and the respect people should have of your body. Respect should be given, regardless if the person is naked or completely covered. Sexual harassment nowadays goes by with a simple "I was joking" and as a woman we are expected not to make a big deal out of it. I make a big deal out of it because I am not just a funny sexual joke or a piece of meat, I am a person, and I and everybody should be treated and respected as such. #notosexualharassment #respect #standupforyourself #itisnotok

We have had it! LET'S START A MOVEMENT! We have this new tee out and it's a powerful one! Don't be a turd!  Don't be THAT guy. Don't be #bradthebully!  Be the nice human that you are and have some respect for others.  Bullying is never right. It is not ok to bully a child or an adult.  It is not ok to bully a teacher or a small shop owner. It is not ok for a customer to bully a small shop owner or vice versa. You should never feel entitled and belittle anyone.  You should always be kind because you have no idea what that person is dealing with. It is not ok. Period.  LET'S START A MOVEMENT and be kind. PLEASE REPOST AND STOP BULLYING! #bearsleyandbumski #kids_stylezz #handmade #supporthandmade #womeninbusiness  #etsyseller #like4like #igbabies #entrepreneur #girlboss #shop #shopping  #madewithlove #goodvibes  #rtsmallbusiness #stopbullying #itisnotok #dontbethisguy #bradthebully #antibully

It happens all around us DV. The story out of GC affected me this week . I could feel her terror, I could feel how alone and afraid she would have been in those moments. She would have been so scared for her little girl. It's not fear for it to end that way, but it does too many times. I know what it's like to see the rage in the mans eyes, that look that he wants to hurt you. I've been there. I remember thinking I could help him, thinking he would change for me. I remember the things he destroyed, the words he would say, the pushing and the shoving, the dominance, the three screws in my finger that he snapped. I remember when he showed his abuse toward me at a friends house one Xmas night. I remember having hidden it from my friends and her saying "but your the strongest person I know?". I glad I was able to leave and get out and take our daughter too. It was hard to leave, we tried, we failed, we tried, we failed. We said goodbye. I moved and he moved. We were only together for 3 years, I got my daughter and a life lesson and luckily for me I got my life with no controlling factors. Alcohol and his own demons were his issue. 7 years on I am so grateful I was able to gather the strength to leave a toxic relationship - I wonder now why I wasted 3 years in a warped sense of love. All the abusive memories have overtaken any good memories I had with him, which isn't fair for my daughter but I think she is better off to not know #saynotodomesticviolence #prayforthewomen #domesticviolenceawareness #itisnotok #whiteribbon #letitgo #jamesbaymusic
