  1. React, Reflect, Respond How does language play a role in sexual assault?

  2. The Power of Words • “It is a power that has the potential to change the world, and a power that can create a world of trouble if abused.” • “Words and the energy they carry make or break friendships and careers; they define us as individuals and even as cultures.” • “Our relationships, our work environment, even our feelings about ourselves, can be transformed simply by taking time to think about how words create reality.”

  3. One Perspective

  4. The Opposite Perspective

  5. What do you think? • Could the words we use encourage people to accept or tolerate sexual assault? Does it de-sensitize? Does it lose its true meaning? • How might survivors be affected by the language that we use? Imagine you are a survivor, what words might affect us? • Is using language like rape, bitch, pussy, gay…. necessary?
