Listen to me in conversation with Asipre hosts Katie Shipp and Chessy Prout, along with I Have the Right To communications director Maria Villegas and student intern Jonas Wahl. I explain the concept of sexual citizenship—everyone’s right to determine if, when, and how sexual encounters occur, and to respect others’ equal rights—and highlight how this core principle is undermined by gendered dress codes, non-consensual sexualization, and victim-blaming narratives. We dig into how societies police girls’ bodies, disproportionately target girls of color, and force young people to see themselves as sexual objects before they may be ready, as well as how students of all genders are organizing to rewrite these policies and reclaim their autonomy.
