We recognize that, in this culture, men are socially conditioned to value power and dominance more than their own intrinsically human qualities, such as love, compassion, empathy, and respect. We recognize that this conditioning has created the tremendously divisive social disease of sexism.

Sexism, Racism, Ableism, Heterosexism, Classism:
Making the Links with Sexual Violence
Sexual assault experiences are embedded within the personal, as well as the social and historical context within which we all live. To acknowledge the diversity and complexity of female experience, violence against women has to be considered in relation to an entire structure of domination of which patriarchy is but one part. Sexism, as it intersects with racism, classism, homophobia and able-ism, and a range of other experiences will affect women's responses to the trauma of sexual violence.

Forms of oppression are designed to control, confine and exploit one group of people for the benefit of another group of people. There are many strategies used to oppress people. For example, sexism is about objectifying women and girls. When a woman or girl is objectified (viewed as an object — not as a human being) it becomes acceptable to treat her in any way.
