the Department of Defense.

rapists are brought to justice.

17. JUST THINK AND RAINN
BOTH ARE ENGAGED IN HELPING
YOUNG TEENS. EDUCATING THEM TO
BECOME ADEPT INDIVIDUALS. WHAT
BETTER WAY OF PROPAGATING
SEXUAL VIOLENCE PREVENTION
THAN USING THE MEDIA? THESE
TWO FOUNDATIONS CAN WORK
TOGETHER AND MAKE A
TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON
COMMUNITES AND WORK TOGETHER
IN UNIFORMITY.

18. Personal Connection
Males and females are equal, we are both in charge of
our bodies and what we decide to do with them. Some
people dissipate and see women as objects, because of
that feel they can take advantage and make women
feel subordinate. I want there to be equal treatment
amongst genders and feel very strongly about women
being able to walk down the street and not be afraid.

19. Thank you for your time!!!
