Elizabeth Smart Instagram – I’m so grateful for how open parents are (or trying to be) on the subjects of consent and sexual violence. I hear from so many people that say, that their parents didn’t teach them about the birds and the bees let alone, sexual assault, or that they choice or body mattered. The conversation is DRAMATICALLY changing. Parents are rectifying that error and taking it a step further. Talking more about healthy relationships, decision making, communication, and even the red flags that their kids should watch out for. Grandparents are even sharing with me how they are intentionally having different types of conversations with their grandkids. Both these generations are addressing the abuse that they had received or were witness to, and putting their foot down. No more will they keep their mouth shut to save face. No more will they be quiet to protect people. The people that need protecting are the victims NOT the perpetrators. You combine that momentum with Gen Z and Alpha’s big hearts and determination to make this world a better place for all and sexual violence will hopefully be a thing of the past. I’m hopeful. Together we are changing the conversation. Together we are making this world a better place.
