Description: Let's talk about sex: In a culture where it's still taboo to talk about sex, our silence acts as an enabler to perhaps the most far-reaching epidemic of our time. The numbers are staggering; we all know someone who has been touched by sexual violence. Men and women of all ages, classes, and religions are affected every day. Communities are left to pick up the pieces. WE WILL NOT SPEAK IT is an exploration of the problem of sexual violence and the culture of tolerance that exists to support and enable it on a global scale. One courageous young woman's story is a window into the epidemic of sexual violence against both women and men in our society. When will too much be enough? When will we, as a culture, decide to act? When will our tolerance of sexual violence finally come to an end?
