Document Summary

Gender- based violence refers to all forms of violence that are related to gender roles and gendered power imbalances in society (krik and taylor). Sexual violence is an accurate representation in which gender-based perceived since it is the most common form of inequality between males and females. Draw the line is a campaign by sacha (sexual assault centre hamilton area) raises awareness of sexual violence towards women. Statistics shows that 98% of offenders towards women are men; however not all men are the attackers of gender-based sexual violence (draw the line guidebook, 14). In contrast, bystanders are just as a negative impact of the problem just like the perpetrators. Citizens who witness sexual violence towards women fail to make the issue any better. In our activism project for draw the line, not only showcases the importance of consenting sexual activities, but we place an emphasis on getting bystanders involved regarding sexual violence towards women.
