I want people to talk about S3xual violence and how prevalent it is. Whether it is domestic violence, rape or even S3xual harassment; I hope is to inspire an open dialogue about what we can do to change the terrifying statistics that are included in the project.” Read in Full http://www.lukuluku.net/women-UnCloth-in-still-not-asking-for-it-campaign/ still not asking for it Photographer Rory Bansell doesn’t want her daughter to experience S3xism and abuse After sharing the images on Tumblr and Facebook Rory has received overwhelming support for her work along with loads of angry and disrespectful comments.
