Change the script on victim blaming.

If someone you care about was a victim of crime,
what would you say to them? Many victims are blamed for what happened to them - often by people they know.

What we say when someone opens up
can make a real difference.

Victim blaming, the second assault

Victim blaming is a second violation. It shifts blame from those who caused harm onto those who suffered it. Perpetrators know the disgust and disgrace they face if exposed, so they lie, manipulate, and recast themselves as the victim. It’s deliberate. It silences the truth, isolates the harmed, and protects those responsible. Ending it means refusing the lie and placing accountability where it belongs.

Victim blaming sillyness

If the story you tell is unbelievable it is not because it didn't happen, but because it shouldn't happen. Blaming someone for something that shouldn't have happened is just silly. Know that you are dealing with sillyness when, as a victim, you are accused. Stand your ground.

KIA KAHA -STAND STRONG

Guilt is what the perpetrators want you to feel. Hurt is what they want you to feel. This all ends in the shame they want you to take fault for. Know your worth. Love yourself. Believe in yourself. Trust your instincts. But most of all, blanket yourself in YOUR trust. YOUR love. We got this!🤩🧡💛🩵💜
