My Thoughts
Blaming the survivor is still commonplace in America and probably in many countries. This stigma toward survivors is still in the dark ages at times. Like women walking home from work and stopping in for a drink. She makes her way home and is raped. The stigma is she was drinking and had on a short short, she was asking for sex. Total crap!
If rape is the case, go to the hospital right away, get a rape kit done, and call the police. Give them everything you remember and don’t for one minute let anyone point the finger back at you, shut it down. If a department doesn’t treat you with respect, call the Captain or go to another police station. I know it’s a hassle going through the questioning while you’re distraught but hang in there.
Don’t let the assailant get away with the crime.
You’re a Survivor!

I already loved this post just by reading the title. It’s like it’s not safe to talk about being victimized. People won’t always believe you and worse yet they make take the aggressors side. I now know what to do in case of rape. Thank you.
