Thank you for this very important reminder. It is either sex or rape. RAPE IS NOT A TYPE OF SEX. IT IS A CRIME.

Sex with a consent, is only sex. There is no such a thing as 'consensual sex' or 'non-consensual sex', that is rape. There is sex or rape. Rape is not a type of sex. You wouldnt say 'breathing swimming' or 'non-breathing swimming'. You say swimming or drowning.

Hello @FunkeOnafuye thanks for tagging us, we’re happy to clarify. Consent is reversible and can be revoked at any time during a sexual encounter, refusal to respect a revoked consent is rape. If you continue after you were asked to stop, you have violated your partner’s rights.

How do you know if you or someone you know is a rape apologist? Here are a few things to note: 1. A rape apologist has the tendency to first discredit or blame the victim while offering some form of defence for the accused. That is their first line of action.

Arbitrary arrest is a tool to silence social activists. Arresting a person who speaks up against sexual violence emboldens perpetrators & makes a statement that #rape & harassment is licit! Why hasn’t the accused been apprehended for interrogation, @NigeriaPolice ? #ArewaMeToo

This is very disturbing. Women and sexual violence being used as weapons of war/conflict is a crime. We hope @HQNigerianArmy and the Federal Government can look into this and have these men apprehended. We also suggest a comprehensive training for the soldiers. #StandtoEndRape

@quinlateefa @FunkeOnafuye Hello @quinlateefa , consent is ongoing and reversible which means sex can be stopped at any point including when the man is about to come. Please refrain from justifying rape, rape can occur even if both parties were sexual partners or in a relationship.

Being in a place alone with the opposite sex is not consent. People say things like “why did she go to his place if she wasn’t expecting something to happen”.

Rape culture is a setting that normalizes rape, sexual assault and behaviours contributing to sexual violence due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality. What part of the normalized acts on the pyramid have you unlearned or are you still a part of rape culture?

For the avoidance of doubt, coercion IS rape. And rape is a crime. The Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law (2015) defines rape as: “if the other person does not consent to the penetration or if the consent obtained force or means of threat or intimidation of any kind.. 1/3
