From the 1960s to the 1980s, American television ran the public service announcement, "Do you know where your children are," with a large 10 p.m. logo next to it. The idea was if our nation's youth were indoors by 10 p.m., they would be safe. The reality, however, is bad things can happen any time. Today, the new question should be, "It's 10 am. Do you know who your child is online with?"

In October 2017, The New York Times ran an article about sexual abuse in Hollywood and just a few short weeks later, the legacy, career and name of director Harvey Weinstein were in ruins. For many, it was a celebration. The #MeToo movement was reborn in Twitter fever, but many more were left wondering why it had taken so long to bring this man down. Furthermore, what about all the other powerful and not-so-powerful abusers who continue to sexually torment and violate their victims simply because they can? Why can't we take them down with equal fervor?Trumping the Rape Culture & Sexual Assault is the first step to learning self-defense and taking a stand against the rape culture.
