In the United States, there were an estimated 84,041 rape cases reported to law enforcement in 2014. A report made by the Department of Justice in 2014 estimated that only 34.8% cases of sexual assaults are reported to the authorities. The fact that many cases of rape go unreported could be due to the fear of judgement and not being heard that many sexual assault victims suffer.]]> 2020-05-05 02:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942018 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942196 The audience Liza Donnelly had in mind with this cartoon would be people who wouldn't typically agree with its message, to try and open their minds to a different perspective.]]> 2020-05-05 02:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942196 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942262 The cartoon symbolizes how women's  rape allegations are often dismissed and questioned by society, claiming they're lying or seeking attention from the media, and even suggesting they're doing it out of hatred for their abuser.]]> 2020-05-05 02:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942262 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942448 In the image, we see two little girls quietly playing with toys. They're sitting down on the floor, one of them is holding a doll, and the other one is holding a toy truck, and they look on their faces can seem contemplative, or expresionless. Apart from them, there's no one else in the room. The girls in the cartoon could represent girls from all over the world; girls from the US, and from different countries and cultures, too.]]> 2020-05-05 02:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942448 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942584 The image includes many different objects, we can see many toys laying around, a doll house, a toy chest, a single paper with what could be a box of pens, a table with chairs and a few things on it, two frames on the wall, too. There's also a couch and a TV turned on in front of it. The girls in the image are playing with the toys, which symbolize innocence. ]]> 2020-05-05 02:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942584 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942806 The image is set in a playroom for children, there are two little girls playing with toys while sitting down on the floor, which symbolizes their innocence, playfulness, and laxity. ]]> 2020-05-05 02:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942806 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942897 The caption of the cartoon reads "When I grow up, I hope my rape allegations are believed.", the caption accompanying the drawing helps people get the message the cartoon is trying to give.]]> 2020-05-05 02:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550942897 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550943168 The controversial issue of the cartoon is sexual assault or rape, and the fact that many women are dismissed or ignored when they speak out against their rapists because people don't believe them, which causes other women to be scared and hesitant to report their rapists in fear of people not believing them. ]]> 2020-05-05 02:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550943168 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550943305 Liza Donnelly's technique is iconic, the drawing isn't detailed at all, which gives the cartoon an unfinished or incomplete look. This helps the focus go more into the message of the cartoon, rather than on the drawing itself. ]]> 2020-05-05 02:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550943305 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550943654 The cartoon is satirical and ironic, as the little girls are presented playing with their toys innocently, and then the caption below states worry for something as wrongful and immoral as rape is. It makes people stop and think about the contrasted situation, how a little girl should be worried about trivial things, not hoping that in the future people will believe her if she's raped. ]]> 2020-05-05 02:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550943654 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550943817 Liza Donnelly's purpose is to make people reflect on the issue, ponder the meaning of the cartoon and what the caption reads, think about the fact that many women are questioned and doubted once they speak out against their abusers, to the point sometimes they're too scared of not being believed to even report them. ]]> 2020-05-05 02:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550943817 trinisipowicz https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550944020 People who agree with the #MeToo movement and feminists would agree with the cartoon, as it includes a topic that is discussed and fought for constantly, also maybe sexual assault victims who know the struggle of being questioned about their experiences, too.
People who highlight false rape acussations and it's victims, people who are mostly skeptical when women speak out against their rapists,  people who believe the #MeToo movement encourages women to frame men they hate, and that men can be "victims" of this movement, are people who most likely disagree with this cartoon's message. ]]> 2020-05-05 02:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/trinisipowicz/phl1zdjya5k3d3wd/wish/550944020
