How do you say it in your spoken language?
What vocabulary, word, or idea do you use to challenge, confront, or respond to rape culture and blame? How will you say #INeverAskForIt in your spoken language?
Step by Step Guide to build the language and memory project below:
Saying #INeverAskForIt in your spoken language and finding the words for it relies on accessing memory. It may be triggering. It may be healing. Practice this only if you feel ready to do so, and if it serves you in any way.
1) Remember a time you experienced sexism, blame, shame, powerlessness.
2) What did you say to the person/ situation or yourself, if at all, at the time ?
What do you wish you could have said ?
Imagine what you might want to say today, and claim back your power.
These words become #INeverAskForIt in your spoken language.
3) Write it down: share your memory ;
What was directed at you.
