Some social media soundbites from “We Begin by Listening”
The day that Farrah Khan spoke at UVic there were quite a few tweets and grams and we thought we would collect some here for future reference.
Proud of @farrah_khan who's the keynote speaker at 3 BC universities this week. Today she's at #Uvic. #webelievesurvivors #letsgetconsensual

We need to shift from thinking of sex as a commodity to sex as collaboration. @farrah_khan #letsgetconsensual #menletstalk

rape culture
Farrah: "a part of challenging rape culture is recognizing that it happens all the time" #consent #letsgetconsensual

Intersectional
Farrah: "this is a multigenerational conversation. how are we bringing our families and elders into conversations of sexualized violence?"
— mo (@megccn) September 29, 2016
"Perpetrators are not monsters. What is the narrative? How is it racialized? Who is incarcerated?" #letsgetconsensual
— Sherwin Arnott (@sherwinarnott) September 29, 2016
"How do we provide options [to respond to sexualized violence] that are outside of the legal system?" @farrah_khan #letsgetconsensual

Khan: How do we amplify the voices of youth who are speaking out about these violences? #letsgetconsensual
— Project Respect (@projRespect) September 29, 2016
Khan: Practice saying, "it's not okay to say that." Interject in harm. Interject when myths are perpetrated. #letsgetconsensual
