Some great information from our friends at Modish.

We grew up being told what to wear. Skirt: too short. Pants: too tight. Shirt: too revealing.

Don’t walk alone. Park under a light post. Don’t send the wrong signal.

And it still happened to too many of us.

Nearly half of women in the U.S. have experienced some form of sexual violence. One in 5 has experienced r**e or attempted r**e. That’s not a statistic, that’s your friend, your sister or the woman in the fitting room next to you.

Every spring, Luther College hosts the “What were you wearing” exhibit. It displays outfits like the ones survivors were wearing when they were assaulted. Sweatpants. Work clothes. A child’s top. Pajamas. Ordinary things.

If you’ve never seen it, go. Take a friend. Bring your sons and daughters.

It is never about the clothes. It was never about us.

If you need someone to talk to, RAINN is free and confidential, 24/7. 1-800-656-HOPE or rainn.org

🤍 Wear what you want. It’s your body.
