'We must be vigilant in our activism and recognise this as a lifelong commitment.' - Soma Sara is our Activist Award winner 🏆 GlamourWOTY 🔗
These experiences of abuse, harassment and violence were not rare or ‘isolated’. On the contrary: they were normalised and entrenched into our daily lives through a broken system where abusive and dehumanising behaviour isn’t punished, and perpetrators aren’t held accountable.
Following the explosion of Everyone’s Invited, I decided to write a collection of essays to investigate and interrogate the root causes of this culture to find meaningful ways to eradicate it. The essays explore many topics, looking at the toxic impact of overly restrictive gender scripts, the role of mainstream hardcore porn in the modern sexual landscape, the rapid rise of image-based abuse and harassment on social media where there is little distinction between the offline and online for a generation that has come of age in the digital revolution of the social world.
We must act, and we must continue to act because lives are at stake. Because we deserve better. Because no young girl should be scared to walk home after school in her school uniform. She shouldn’t have to change her clothes, cover up, or keep her keys between her knuckles. Women should be free to live without the imminent threat of violence always lurking, an inescapable presence looming in the back of our minds. Because living in fear isn’t really living. It’s just surviving.
