UNI Feminist Action League finds it unacceptable that these rape myths are still widely believed and circulated in publications like the Courier, in essence justifying violence against women.

Because of this demonstrated lack of knowledge about victim blaming, rape culture, and women's rights in our community, we feel it is incumbent upon us to inform the people of the Cedar Valley about these issues. On Friday, April 12th, Feminist Action League will hold a Rape is the Fault of the RAPIST Teach-In outside the Courier from 12:30-2:00 p.m. We hope other members of the UNI and Cedar Valley community will take a stand with us. By educating the people of the Cedar Valley about the detrimental effects of rape myths, we hope to come one step closer to a world in which both victim-blaming and rape itself are completely unfathomable.
