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.

In case no one told you

What happened to you was not your fault. It makes me deeply sad to think of all the people out there who were blamed for a crime made against them. These are the people who are supposed to help us when we're at our lowest. My heart goes out to any survivors who were not given the compassion they deserved <3

End Victim Blaming

What happened to you was not your fault. You are loved, valued, and believed. Kia kaha.

Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui. Kei konei au ki te whakarongo, kāhore he whakatau. E whakapono ana au ki tō kōrero. He waka eke now.

You're stronger than you know

You matter. Your voice matters. What happened, it is not your fault.The burden of blame is not yours. Do not carry it with you.

It's so hard when people around you keep asking questions that make you wonder if something you did caused what happened to you - don't let those voices in. You can start asking yourself the same questions and blaming yourself. However, It's. Not. Your. Fault!
