Reducing Stigma: Speaking Out

Survivors often feel isolated due to the stigma surrounding sexual assault. It’s crucial we change the narrative and stop victim-blaming. Everyone deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.
Let’s work together to break the silence and end the shame.

Myths vs. Facts: S*xual Assault

Let’s clear up some common myths about sexual assault:
❌ Myth: "Survivors often lie about being assaulted."
✅ Fact: False accusations are rare. Survivors often fear not being believed, which is why they don’t report.
❌ Myth: "If the survivor didn’t fight back, it wasn’t assault."
✅ Fact: Resistance doesn’t negate the assault. Fear, trauma, and power dynamics can prevent someone from fighting back.
Education is key to ending harmful myths.

Bystander Intervention: Speak Up!

As a bystander, you can help stop sexual violence. Whether in a social setting, online, or in public, if you see something that doesn’t feel right, step in—safely.
Here’s how you can help:
• Distract: Redirect the situation or create an interruption.
• Delegate: Get someone in authority to step in.
• Direct: Be assertive and speak out.
Every action counts. Let’s create safer environments together.

Healing Isn’t Linear 🌈

Healing from sexual assault is a personal journey, and it’s not always a straight path. Survivors may experience a range of emotions—anger, confusion, sadness, or even relief.
What’s important is that healing is possible. And no matter where someone is on their journey, they deserve support, love, and understanding.
