It is an  important step in empowering victims."                                                  Policy Mic April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Alarmingly, 1 in 5 women are victims of sexual violence, and a recent study has revealed that 23% of freshman women report sexual assault in college - making violence against women an extremely important human rights and public health issue. IT WAS RAPE goes beyond these startling statistics and features intimate portraits of eight women from different ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Directed by Jennifer Baumgardner, an award-winning feminist filmmaker and author of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future, the film is a powerful tool for dialogue about rape culture.
