Every 73 seconds

About the "National Day" thing: The issue is not whether it is real or not. It is the fact that in this day and time, in already 2021, a small group of men are allowed set out a date to terrorize women all over the nation without consequences. Even if it's probably not real, the news spread so far that men whom would be unaware of this "joke" are going to feel validated enough to commit a crime. Regardless of this fake holiday, women are going to be sexual assaulted tomorrow, because women are sexual assaulted every day. Every. Single. Day. Every 73 seconds, to be more exact.

This incident spread more awareness about the risks of sexual assault than any other recent campaign. Please allow women AND men to learn how to defend themselves against rape and harassment. In this world we live in it's important to know how to protect yourself, whether on April 24th or some other day, if not from rape, maybe domestic violence. There's no harm in learning, and even if the world doesn't burn down tomorrow, at least we have a skill for a future emergency.
