I am so taken aback by these comments made publicly today: "she wouldn't have been the chosen one." What does this mean? To all victim/survivors: please do not internalize these words. You did nothing to "earn" the right to be assaulted. It was not your fault.

This journey continues. Tomorrow, May 1, at 12:30 pm I will speak to members of the Bipartisan Task Force to End Sexual Violence. This task force is made up of about 50 members of the House of Reps in DC. PRAYING FOR MEANINGFUL ACTION!

Someone posted, “I don’t want to be the reason people are put in jail.” Survivors, YOU are not the reason anyone is put in jail, loses their job/family or any other thing. The perpetrator is the reason they are suffering the consequences of their crimes although most never do.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. What's the Big TEAL? Over 450,000 US citizens each year are victims of rape or attempted rape. 2.5% of rapists go to jail. WE CAN DO BETTER!
As an advocate, you already have a lot of tools at your disposal based on your training and experience. At the same time, it’s not necessarily the case that all of those tools will translate into effectively serving male survivors. Find out more: buff.ly/2UpO2pE
