There is so much victim blaming when a woman speaks up for something that has happened to her. We get told 'what did you do to provoke the attack?' 'what were you wearing?' 'you actually like the attention' 'half of it is your responsibility's etc.

I'd like to remind you that when someone hurts you, it is 100% their responsibility. They know what they're doing and they do it because they think they can get away with it. It is 100% not your fault and don't listen to anyone who tries to victim shame and blame you. Cut them off. Remember the JADE method. You never have to Justify, Argue (or Apologize), Defend nor Explain.

Focus on your inner wellbeing, be kind to yourself and give yourself the time and space you need to heal.
