Break The Silence, Stop All Forms of Sexual Violence


Welcome to the new and improved NO! The Rape Documentary website where we are committed to ending rape, sexual assault, and other forms of violence against women.

Almost since the conception of the idea/vision for the feature length documentary that has evolved into NO!, Aishah Shahidah Simmons, an incest and rape survivor, has been on the international road raising awareness about rape, sexual assault, and other forms of violence against women; and the critical non-negotiable need to end it.

Little did she know that her vision and her commitment would be tested over and over and over again on multiple seen and unseen levels. Nor did she know that it would take a full 13-years before her full vision would wo/manifest.
