The Horror of Victim-Blaming The Horror of Victim-Blaming
‘Yeah, but you were drunk?’
‘I’ve seen what you wear on a night out! Think about covering up a bit.’
These are some of the things that have been said to me when I finally decided to open up after I was sexually assaulted at a party. My true fears came true when instead of support, I was met with cruel words and accusations. I was branded as a liar and told that I had misread the situation and that everything was consensual, despite the fact that I never gave consent.
Sexual Assault Awareness Month kicked off at the beginning of April at the University of Kansas with the theme âWe Can Build Safe Online Spaces,â intended to raise awareness of the fact that sexual assault, harassment and abuse can also happen on online platforms, not just through physical contact.Â
Jen Brockman, director of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center, said that the educational programs start the awareness conversation on campus. These programs include âJayhawks Give a Flock,â âConsent @ KU,â âSex, Drugs and Alcoholâ and âSexual Violence Recognition and Response.âÂ
âSAPEC provides primary education for sexual violence, intimitate partner violence and stalking,â Brockman said. âWe work with both undergrad and graduate students in a variety of education based programs.
