Each semester, SAFER holds an open discussion on gender stereotypes and what defines "rape culture" at a screening of "Welcome to the Party." Join us for this semester's screening tonight, October 9, at 7 pm in Textor 103.

This event is free and open to the public."Welcome to the Party" is a rape awareness and prevention film directed and edited by Assistant Professor of Television and Radio Tom Nicholson. An open discussion led by an advocate from the Advocacy Center will follow the screening.

Rape culture can be described as a society where rape is condoned through certain fundamental attitudes toward gender, sexuality, and violence. Many feminists and scholars argue that the United States is a rape culture, and that gender roles that set standards of how men and women should behave contribute to these attitudes.
