WORKING TOGETHER
Building A Safer Community
It is an understatement that the aftermath of rape is a physically and emotionally difficult time for a victim.
In fact, it is so physically and emotionally traumatic, that many rape victims choose to suffer the physical pain and the feelings of vulnerability, fear, guilt and shame, in isolation and silence. Whilst this might be a common reaction, there is no need for a survivor of rape to go through the trauma alone. We as society often re-victimise the victims of sexual violence when we don’t believe them or question their accounts.
Standing up for the survivors of sexual abuse is a NECESSITY, the work you are doing is great. This notion is even supported by the Mosaic Law in the Bible (Deut. 22:25-27). Did you also know that there is no religion, culture or nation that supports rape?

Sexual violence can happen to anyone, regardless of their race, gender, tongue, age, complexion, sexual orientation or their social standing (among other things). Equally, the perpetrator could be ANYONE. Mentors, celebrities, family members, influential members of society or your partner.

The unfortunate truth is that we live in a culture where fear and victim blaming keeps survivors silent. This makes it difficult for victims to come forward. It’ll take all of us to create a culture that no longer tolerates sexual violence.
