"Red My Lips is an international nonprofit organization designed to raise visibility and awareness about the realities and prevalence of sexual violence, while combating rape myths and victim-blaming. We run an annual global awareness and action campaign where our fierce and fearless supporters rock red lipstick all throughout the month of April (Sexual Assault Awareness Month) to demonstrate solidarity and support for survivors and start important conversations with people in their lives."- Red My Lips

The IVSA, a society at Ondersterpoort, launched the Red My Lips campaign at Onderstepoort in order to raise awareness around sexual assault and violence. Students were encouraged to upload pictures of themselves wearing red lipstick with the #IVSA19 and #redmylips in order to generate an online conversation. The campaign proved to be very successful with a prominent social media presence from the begininning! Students were also encouraged to bring in donations of clothing and food that would be donated to shelter for abused women.

We are proud to be part of a Faculty who displayed such excellent support for the campaign!
