Monika Rostvold is a 22-year-old student at Texas State University who wanted to make a point about sexual assault.
She chose to do so in a pretty uinique manner too, by stripping completely naked, putting on a blindfold and some headphones, and sitting on the steps of the library at the university. The performance piece was to make a point about sexual assault, and how a woman is never "asking for it", no matter what she's doing or wearing.
Speaking about the piece, Rostvold said "April is sexual assault awareness month, and I wanted to create a piece about the standards that exist in our society. As a survivor of sexual assault, I wanted to take control of my body by removing my identity and exposing myself to the public. I wanted people to view my body as beautiful and powerful and not as a sexual object."
