My intended audiences are government and police officers who are trying their best to combat this crime. Their role is unrivaled to prevent sexual assault. Second, in our lives, our parents or guardians play an enormous role. Our parents or guardians need to encourage their daughters to engage in self-defense activities and to encourage them to succeed in every step they have taken in their lives. Next, Feminists are also part of my audience for the composition of two genres because they are fighting for women’s rights and they can understand other women’s situations. They can ensure women get equal rights as men and support them to report any sexual harassment they experience to the police.

In my composition, I want to influence my audience and help them to change their perspective as they have negative thoughts about the victim. I want my audience to feel, understand, and play their role properly to stop sexual violence. Our police officers need to make sure that the victim must report the incident that she experienced. Sometimes the victim’s family doesn’t want to report the incident for getting thread or fear of getting attacked. So, our government and police officers need to protect the victim’s family and encourage them to file a case. Our parents should support the victim mentally and physically. Our feminists should stand with the victim and need to make sure the victim gets justice. 

I believe the political cartoon and poster could make it more accessible and attractive to my audience. I choose a  political cartoon that has an extreme significance to influence my audience and help them to change their perspective. This political cartoon is trying to transforming our mind by adding a “Not” in the last line. In the end, the last line was too significant because we can’t judge anyone’s outfit, and “Showing skin is not a crime but rape is a crime.”  A political cartoon allows my audience to deliver information effectively and it is easy to transfer my message to my audience. For my second genre, I choose a poster that will help my audience to experience what kind of situation a victim has to face. A poster is a great idea to use because it can help my audience to visualize the situation and grab their attention to make a better improvement.

In rhetorical strategies, I will use pathos and logos to engage my audience. For pathos, I will use an emotional picture of a victim who has experienced sexual assault and different texts to show how society blames them. I believe this will evoke the sympathy of my audience. Finally, I will use my political cartoon for logos by adding text that “Showing skin isn’t a crime but rape is”. This text is significant and this logic will help me to convince my audience.
