  • The “What Were You Wearing?” art exhibit at the United Nations invites observers to see the outfits worn by sexual assault survivors at the time of their attack, confronting and refuting the implicit victim-blaming in that question.
    Featuring contributions by survivors, including Paris Hilton, as well as the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General and other officials, this video shows how the campaign by Rise and the Spotlight Initiative shifts blame for sexual assault to where it belongs: squarely on the perpetrators.
    The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 35 percent of all women worldwide have survived sexual violence, but the United Nations General Assembly has never passed a resolution focused solely on protections for sexual violence survivors.
    The United Nations did unanimously adopt a new agenda item introduced by Sierra Leone and championed by Rise to enshrine access to justice globally for sexual assault survivors. The new item permanently places the topic of sexual violence on the Assembly's annual agenda.

    I was assaulted four years ago. I went to the police to make a report. I was arrested! Common, this needs to be talked about too

      If you don't mind me asking : why did they arrest you ?
      I mean, legally speaking I don't understand how they had the right to do that, and morally speaking it's just horrifying ?!
      I hope you're healing dear.

    I was 17, walking home from work. Must have looked especially hot in my McDonald's uniform.
