Unfortunately, blaming women for sexual assault is a common occurrence in our society. Although men commit the crime, women are held more responsible becaus they lose their purity. Please give us some examples. Our duty as counselors is to remove their guilty feelings and put their mind at ease. So we emphasize self-reliance and the challenge of readjusting to everyday life.
Counselling is only a small part of the solution, however.
For example, sexual violence among relatives can remain hidden for along time, and prove almost impossible for a victim to avoid. So we as counsellors can submit a petition of accusation and accompany the victims at the trial. The most important thing is the victim's willpower. It varies according to each case. The victim can confront their attacker and protest their actions, or as a group, women's student unions or labor unions can raise the issue at universities or companies.
