B.E.W.A.R.E is calling on all womynborn-wimmin who stand against rape and exploitation to come to the Melbourne Exhibition Centre on Sunday 18th November, 1-3pm to protest sexpLOITo!

------------

Why protest at sexpLOITo?

SexpLOITo not only normalises sexual violence- it celebrates it. It sexualises wimmin's oppression and eroticises violence, racism and classism. SexpLOITo endorses sexual slavery through its promotion of prostitution and by doing this also supports the growing trade of wimmin and girls in sex trafficking. SexpLOITo supports censorship- pornography silences wimmin's speech and it denies us freedom. Through its support of pornography, sexpLOITo promotes the notion that wimmin want to be hurt, that we say no and really mean yes. It supports the mass rape of wimmin.

Who is B.E.W.A.R.E?

B.E.W.A.R.E (Become Enraged Wimmin Against Rape & Exploitation) is a radical lesbian feminist and radical feminist collective that is uncompromising in its aims to liberate wimmin, animals and the earth from men's oppression.

B.E.W.A.R.E stands against all people who act in a sexually violent manner against wimmin and children and those who support them- through friendship, money and apathy. We recognise that wimmin in systems of sexual exploitation are often unable to exercise choice in this matter.

Sexual violence is the ab/use of wimmin, children and animals by usually male perpetrator's, or by wimmin who have been trained by them. Its most common forms are rape, pedophilia, pornography, prostitution, sex trafficking, sadomasochism and battery.

The psychological seasoning of wimmin and girls precedes the perpetuation and acceptance of male sexual violence. It is for this reason that we advocate a zero tolerance politics for white and male supremacy.

Misogyny must be stopped, the time is now and the militant feminists are us.
