Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be ourselves, if we didn't have the weight of gender expectations. (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)” Taking a step back, it is clear that rape culture is not a part of our society that will change anytime soon. However, it is important to recognize the role we play in institutionalizing rape. We have become blinded by the presence of sex in the media and there is a lack of awareness in terms of rape in our society. This, in turn, has led to the belief that most rape crimes are more or less victimless. As a society, it is time to implement change, promote truly equal gender equality, and create an environment where victims are free from shame and shame.
