For one of my KASPER articles, I decided to talk about Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which is April. The article I wrote is linked here.
Since KASPER wants to start raising awareness and educating students about global issues through Instagram posts, the club asked members to write about social issues that are important to them. I chose to talk about sexual assault and violence against women. I don’t think that this is discussed enough at our school, and would like to bring this issue onto the table. This article was later transformed into a post on Instagram.

One of the club’s concern is that not enough students actually read the article. To address this issue, we began creating social media posts. This was inspired by accounts such as @soyouwanttotalkabout, where there are infographics on important social issues. Directly reposting on my Instagram page allows my friends and other students in the community to be exposed to my article and its content. In the second slide, I decided to include statistics to educate my peers. On the last slide, the infographic contains a paragraph of my article and resources in Taiwan. I think that in this way, my article can be more impactful.
I would like to make a series of post, perhaps throughout summer, to continue to post educational infographics on KASPER’s Instagram page.
