The Sexual Violence Epidemic No-One is Talking About
It’s All Your Fault
16-24 year old women are 4 times more likely to be victims of sexual violence than any other age group.
Yet these victims will likely be told that ‘they should have known better.’
Every day we wake up to headlines about women and girls being the victims of sexual violence. And society loves to blame the victim for what happened:
– Your skirt was too short
– You were drunk
– You were leading him on
– You invited him back to your room
But what if we flipped the narrative?
What if, instead of telling victims that sexual violence was their fault, we told the perpetrator that it was their fault.
Because no-one chooses to be the victim of grooming, sexual assault, or rape, but people do choose to be perpetrators of sexual violence.
