Intimacy can be scary and nerve-wracking sometimes

Intimacy can be scary and nerve-wracking sometimes, and that's OKAY! You may be enthusiastic about something, but change your mind once you begin. If you ever want to change your mind about engaging in interpersonal contact with someone, you have the right to do so at any time.

Communicate with your partner how you are feeling. You do not have to do anything you do not want to do.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and the decision to do so deserves to be respected. You have the right to change your mind!

💜 She Could Be... Miss Kansas. This is why we do what we do. Domestic Violence is something that people don't want to talk about. And many times it's only in moments of triumph that brave women and men such as Miss Kansas have a platform to speak about it in a way people can digest. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT 📣

👉 Alexis Smith says: "The best part about winning is I am going to be able to represent women that look like me and help eliminate domestic violence in all of our Kansas communities,"

Sexual Integrity is the core values you should hav

Sexual Integrity is the core values you should have when approaching interpersonal contact with someone.

A person with strong sexual integrity...
1. Respects others
2. Communicates their expectations
3. Obtains clear consent and
4. Does not use coercion, threat, or force

These values help to prevent crossed boundaries, uncomfortable situations, and assault. Do you have sexual integrity?

The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed in

The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed in 1990 with the purpose of protecting those with disabilities and ensuring equality by prohibiting discrimination and providing accessibility.

As much as these strides have helped our society to progress toward equality, inequality persists behind closed doors. 70% of disabled people experience some form of abuse and are 3x more likely to be sexually assaulted. Children with disabilities also face abuse at disproportionally high rates.

Having a disability provides abusers with another tool to gain power and control over their victims. Partners often serve a dual role as caretakers, resulting in the necessities for survival being weaponized for coercion.
