Here are some alternate campaigns that are fighting against rape culture
Courtenay McKay created these posters for the Gender-Based Violence Prevention Project at the University of Alberta in Canada. The project wants to educate their students, staff, faculty, and community members about rape culture. These posters provide a simple and effective way of spreading awareness of rape culture, while providing accurate information at the same time. |

I Always Get Consent is an anti-sexual assault campaign that started at Arizona State University, but eventually spread across the US. It has a simple message, much like "Consent is Sexy", but does not compare consent to anything, simply stating that one must always get consent. |
This video was created by the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland for their Rape Prevention Campaign. While it is targeted towards men, it makes the assaulter question their motives, as well as question what it really means to get consent. It educates people to think about their actions and what they are doing. |

Make Your Move is another campaign against sexual violence in Missoula, Montana. Instead of spreading a "don't get raped" or even a "don't rape" message, it is targeted towards bystanders. It spreads awareness that others can help prevent rape and sexual violence in any setting. |
The best thing to do when fighting rape culture is to simply educate yourself. As a bystander, be wary of others in uncomfortable situations and do your best to help others in need. Understand what rape is, how it effects others, and what you can do to help prevent it. And lastly, don't rape.
