Green Haven Shelter for Women works from the premi

Green Haven Shelter for Women works from the premise that every individual deserves freedom from violence. This month in particular, we are spreading awareness of the sexual assault crisis in #Canada.

"We must strengthen our systems of accountability so that assaulters know their behaviour will not be tolerated; remove the shame and stigma around it so that #survivors are empowered to seek support; and speak out against it so that beliefs and attitudes promoting rape culture are removed from our society."
-- @opseusefpo

We often hear warnings against victim blaming, but what does this mean and why is it harmful?

@canadianwomensfoundation provides us with the facts: "Only one party is responsible for sexual violence: the perpetrator. Blaming the person who is abused is victim-blaming. It’s unfair and dangerous."

May is Sexual Assault Prevention Month. This month

May is Sexual Assault Prevention Month. This month is dedicated to survivors of sexual assault and to recommitting efforts to take action against sexual assault. The reality in Canada is that one in three women and one in six men will experience sexual violence in their lifetime (Source: Gov't of Ontario).

The other reality is that many survivors of sexual assault will never come forward out of fear of not being believed or being blamed for the violence. We also know that for many, systemic injustices can also be a barrier to reporting violence.

This is why we call for all allies to listen to women and to #believesurvivors. Changing the narrative around violence and holding abusers accountable will encourage survivors to continue coming forward and to access the support they need to begin healing.
