Canadian student Kayley Dixon performed the earth-shattering three-minute spoken word piece this week, and managed to touch on everything from what it’s like to grow up under leering gazes from men to how women tend to take responsibility for their assault, rather than assigning blame to the offender.
As part of an announcement on funding the province is providing to groups to fight sexual violence, 14-year-old Kayley Dixon read “A Touch of Sexual Assault,” a powerful and troubling poem she wrote about what it’s like being a teen girl today. Dixon is involved in one of the groups that received funding.
