Victim blaming
Strengthening our sisterhood starts with believing.
We need to start to check ourselves and those around us when we start to turn to victim blaming and shaming.
It has become part of rape culture to victim blame and this leads to women being less likely to report experiences of sexual assault and violence and get the support they need.
It can also lead to self-blame, which stops women from being able to heal from their trauma.
Be an ally:
I believe you
I’m sorry that happened
How can I help
Let’s start seeing, hearing and believing survivors of sexual violence! It is not their fault and they deserve safe spaces to seek support and heal.
