Talk:Public/social responses to sexual violence against women in North America

Good afternoon Genevieve,

great job on your wiki page. You provide great context and analysis of the various public/social responses to sexual violence against women in North American through your incorporation of social movements. I really loved your inclusion of #MeToo especially. I only really have one suggestion for your page, however, I understand that it may have been purposefully excluded due to the word limit of this project.

If possible, I believe it would add to your pages intersectional analysis of public/social responses to sexual violence against women in North America if you were to expand a bit on how women's experiences of sexual violence differ based on race, sexuality and even gender identity. Women of colour and Transgender women are most at risk for sexual violence, and this is something that is very relevant in terms of the #MeToo movement specifically, given that it was started by as you mentioned, Tarana Burke. In doing so, you could touch upon movements created specifically by women of colour, for women of colour such as the #SayHerName campaign. It would allow you to highlight how through exclusion, different social movements that respond to violence against women are created.

In order to employ a truly intersectional lens, I believe it is important to talk about the purposeful exclusion and inclusion of certain women and certain bodies in social movements in order to understand the intersectional nature of oppression. Which is something that you also touched upon in your analysis of the Women's March, which I greatly appreciated.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your wiki page, you demonstrated an impressive grasp of material learned this semester through GRSJ 224 course content and allowed me to learn quite a few things about Public/social responses to sexual violence against women in North America.

I can't wait to read your page again when it is finished!!

Sincerely,

Meredith Bogle
