sexual bullying

 

Sexual bullying is defined as using a person’s sexuality as a weapon against another person. The behavior can be physical are non-physical. Sexual bullying comes in the forms of using sexualized gestures, violence and language to victimize someone based upon their appearance.

There have been multiple reports of teenage boys using apps such as Snapchat to sexually bully students into performing sexual acts at school. Slut Shaming is the most common form of sexualized bullying. Slut shaming is the act of criticising a woman for her real or presumed sexual activity, or for behaving in ways that someone thinks are associated with her real or presumed sexual activity.

On this Episode of the Digital Parent Podcast, Emily Lindin of the Unslut Project, stops by to discuss how sexual bullying is impacting teen girls. Emily is the author of “UnSlut: A Diary and a Memoir” and founder of The UnSlut Project, which uses personal story sharing to work against sexual bullying and “slut” shaming. The project was inspired by Emily’s own experience being labeled the school “slut” at age eleven and being sexually bullied throughout middle school.

Now a Harvard graduate and recent PhD, Emily started The UnSlut Project by blogging her diary entries from middle school. Her award-winning, crowd-funded film, “UnSlut: A Documentary Film” is currently screening at universities, theaters, and festivals around North America.

Emily has been featured speaking out against “slut” shaming on television and radio shows including ABC with Katie Couric, CNN with Brooke Baldwin, and NPR’s Here and Now, and in many magazines and blogs including Women’s Health Magazine, Glamour UK, and Salon.com.
