THIS STARTS HAPPENING TO YOU AT WORK. WHAT DO YOU DO?

OLD BLOCKHEAD WAY: You don't tell anyone because of fear and shame. You suffer all alone in silence. What are you going to do, complain to your boss?

ELLAPHANT NATION WAY: You join us and SMASH creep behavior. Instead of fear and shame you have strength and support.

BEGIN

SEXUAL HARASSMENT: TWO TYPES

HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT: Some creep makes your work life a living hell with unwanted advances, lewd comments, lewd behavior and so on. It has to be more than ordinary annoyances.

QUID PRO QUO: Sounds like: "If you do things for me, I'll get you a promotion," or perhaps, "if you want to keep your job, you'll do things for me." The creep is trying to use his status and authority to coerce you into an exchange.

ELLAPHANT NATION WORKS GREAT FOR BOTH!

So if some creep where you work or study is creating a hostile environment or trying to coerce you using quid pro quo...

WHY ELLAPHANT NATION?

Well to start with, these appalling statistics:

Under the current system, it's estimated that only about one third of sexual offences are even reported.

One out of five women are sexually assaulted in college.

Research has found that one in six men (let's not forget the male victims) are sexually assaulted or abused in their lifetime. And it can be even harder for males to report.

The appalling fate of many rape kits.

The fact that this list of appalling statistics is too long to list here.

To sum it all up: THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY

TYPES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

Sexual assault means an unconsented touching to a sexual part of your body. It can range in severity from groping to forcible rape. It includes date rape, forced oral copulation, indecent assault and other such offenses.

Groping: Groping is a type of sexual assault where some idiot touches a sexual part of your body without consent. It's what you might call the "Ben Affleck Kind".

Forcible Rape: Use of force or threat of force to induce sexual activity. This is the 'old-fashioned' idea of what constitutes sexual assault, where if you weren't beat up real bad, it wasn't rape. It's what you might call the "Harvey Weinstein Kind".

Date Rape: Use of drug such as GHB or Rohipnol to incapacitate you before sexual activity. It's what you might call the "Bill Cosby (allegedly) Kind"
