Sexual assault and rape were not always hot topics for news outlets and politicians. To discuss either was frowned upon and simply not done to large extent. Suzanne Lacy aimed to do so with a very simple action. In Los Angeles, she went to the police station everyday for three weeks to obtain rape reports and on a public map stamped out the locations of each crime. The amount of stamps on the map is shocking and the lack of public knowledge is even more so. The simple action of discussing taboo topics in such a public space disrupts the normalized beliefs of these issues. Sustaining these discussions can prove even more taxing. However, putting it in the face of the public gives people no choice but to acknowledge the issues not discussed.
