Don't be that guy

Don't Be That Guy is "a refreshing and new approach to tackling sexual violence among youth aged 16 to 25. Instead of placing responsibility for preventing sexual assault in the hands of victims, the posters appeal to potential offenders—speaking directly to them in their language. The posters can be displayed in bars as well as other places where young people gather."  


You can see the posters on their FACEBOOK PAGE or on the WEB-PAGE

Here is a notable instance of the importance of freedom of speech being linked to responsibility to listen and a reminder that freedom of speech also is a form of self-determination.  Not only are we in favor of individuals (including young women) having the right to speak, but also of their right to autonomy about their lives and bodies.
