Uplift- Online Communities Against Sexual Violence's video: Episode 2: What is Sexual Assault - Engage by Uplift

This week- Let's get back to the basics. What do we even mean when we talk about sexual assault? How can you tell if something is an assault? Is rape the same thing as assault? Engage by Uplift tackles the difficult issues surrounding sexual abuse that the YouTube and online communities face. We're starting real talk for real change.
