50 t-shirts. 50 shades. 50 ways women have said "no" and been ignored.
Following month after month of sexual misconduct accusations around the globe, two young Australian women have launched an international campaign against harassment and abuse.
Dubbed "50 Shades of No," the campaign particularly targets the issue of consent, and features 50 t-shirts emblazoned with things real women have said to avoid sexual encounters.
SEE ALSO:#MeToo founder is writing a memoir"These 50 shirts feature real verbal and nonverbal signals real women gave in moments when they tried to say ‘no’," reads the campaign brief. "All of which were ignored."
Launching on International Women's Day on March 8, it's a new project from a group of young Aussie creatives, who have recruited yet to be announced #MeToo campaigners, musicians, models, Instagram influencers and others to promote the shirts.
Changing in tone per shirt, statements range from "Is it ok if we just sleep," and "I’m not feeling it," to *pretends it isn't happening*. The funds from each $35 t-shirt will go towards Project Consent, a not-for-profit organisation aiming to educate young people about consent.

"Our research and discussions with women shows it’s beyond ‘no means no’. Often times the situation is such that they want to avoid conflict, embarrassment or compromising relationships."
The 50 shades will be available from the yet-to-be-live website on March 8. Here's an idea of what to expect:
