What a woman wears, where she goes, what she drinks or who she talks to does not mean she is inviting sexual assault or giving up her right to say no. These myths blame the victim for the crime, not the offender. Any woman of any age in almost any situation can be sexually attacked. If a woman is sexually assaulted it is not he fault. Recognize that our society has a responsibility to stop all forms of sexual assault.
Sexual assault is a crime.
An important first step is to learn more about sexual assault and why it happens. Many of the things we have heard about sexual assault are not true. We need to think about our attitudes and challenge the myths. We must place responsibility for the crimes on the offenders and stop blaming victims. Talk to others about sexual assault.
