The organizers said in an information packet that the purpose of the walkout was “to raise awareness and hold the LWHS community accountable for their role in perpetuating rape culture and maintaining silence around matters regarding sexual assault and sexual harassment.” Throughout the afternoon, the Lick students repeatedly referred to the “hookup culture” that they say is prevalent at off-campus parties and encourages casual sexual encounters from kissing to sex. Some students worry that these casual sexual encounters don’t allow for emotional connection and can be harmful, especially when consent isn’t given.
