Our bodies have a variety of responses to trauma. During traumatic events, the body might “freeze,” or shut down verbally and/or physically. It is a common response to sexual assault and it does not invalidate a survivor’s experience. Support survivors. End #RapeMyths.

We've seen a lot of progress in the years since #MissRepresentation first came out, but there is still work to do. What topics would you want to see covered in a sequel?

Some people assume that the only “real” rape is stranger rape, but anyone can commit sexual assault. #RapeMyths create a false narrative of sexual violence, making it harder for survivors’ voices to be heard. Join us in challenging these myths and demanding more from our culture.

Women's sports have historically received less funding and coverage than men's sports. The Monarch Collective is looking to change that. The $100 million fund will invest directly in various areas of women's sports including teams and media platforms. #RespectHerGame

A lot has changed — for better & for worse — since I released my film Miss Rep in 2011. And although we’ve made significant strides towards equitable representation in leadership & media, we still have work to do to bring women’s stories & lived experiences to the forefront.

Now 84, Trina Robbins has long been a pioneer in the men-dominated comic book industry. Before she made history drawing Wonder Woman, Robbins was a co-founder of an underground all-women anthology titled "Wimmens Comix."
For decades, Wonder Woman was only drawn by men. In the 1980s, Trina Robbins drew four issues of "The Legend of Wonder Woman," becoming the first woman to draw the iconic superhero for D.C. comics.

Jacinda Ardern gave her final speech to New Zealand's parliament: "You can be a mother, or not. You can be an ex-Mormon, or not. You can be a nerd, a crier, a hugger. You can be all of these things, and not only can you be here, you can lead, just like me."

Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women earn just $0.80 for every dollar earned by white men. When we move past the average, the wage gap for certain communities is even larger, with some earning less than $0.50 to every white man's dollar. #AAHNPIEqualPayDay

We applaud U.S. Trade Rep. Katherine Tai's response to Rep. Greg Murphy's sexist comment, but it's a shame that women continue to face bias around communication. We need to end the sexist double standards and criticisms! 👏

What kind of world are you trying to create? Last week for The Power Hour, we talked with Dr. Leona Tate about the world she is building through her decades of activism and more. Watch our full conversation on YouTube: buff.ly/3noaKMZ
"I want people to treat each other the same way you would treat your family. Some kind of way, we need to bring this racism plight to an end...We have to develop some kind of system to give equal opportunities to everybody." – Dr. Leona Tate

And some people argue that there's no market or audience for women's sports! Overall viewership of the women's March Madness tournament has also been up this year. The moral of this story? Invest in women's sports! 🏀 #RespectHerGame
