Know No was _(7)_ in the wake of convicted rapist▼ Brock Turner walking out of jail three months early on his already lenient▼ six-month sentence.

 | 「不」就是「不」，杜絕性侵從你我做起
你知道「不」代表什麼意思嗎？
你知道雙方同意的性關係實際上意味著什麼嗎？不妨在 Know No 網站上做一項測試，並看看結果如何。假如所有的答案都是「不」這件事令你吃驚的話，那麼你可能並未完全理解當談及雙方同意時，是沒有灰色地帶的。換言之，假如有人處於喝醉或無意識的狀態，那無論如何他們就應該被認定是無法首肯的。
不幸的是，許多人都不懂這種常識。由美國疾病控制與預防中心在世界各地所進行的研究指出，每四名女性就有一名經歷過某種形式的性暴力，而每十名男性之中就有一名。那驚人的數據可能還更高，因為許多受害者未能向警方舉報攻擊，由於他們害怕社會汙名、強烈反對以及自己可能有錯在先的憂慮。
廣告公司 MARC USA 在 2016 年年底展開了 Know No 活動，以作為教導民眾「不」意涵的一項計劃，尤其是透過與年輕人開始對談。除了該網站以外，一支影片也是活動的一部份，影片中有男性與女性躺在沙發與床墊上，身旁的看板寫著：「如果我不能拒絕的話，我也不能同意。」已定罪的強暴犯布魯克•特納在獲判已經過於寬鬆的六個月徒刑之後還提前三個月出獄，Know No 活動便隨之推動。那些 Know No 活動的幕後推手說，他們只是問問自己，如果人們更加了解同意的含意，他們仍然會做出同樣的選擇嗎？
