It's Not Your Fault (pamphlet on dealing with rape & sexual assault)


"It's not your fault"

She didn't scream
She did not fight back
She was drinking.
these are excuses.
NEVER blame yourself.

Listening not judging
Listening not prying
It's normal to feel angry, afraid, anxious
Feelings intensify and overwhelm
Sit with your silences.

Protect yourself
Discomfort
Aggressive behavior
feeling vulnerable
find a way out.

If it feels like you're being pressured
then you are.

"NO" means "NO"
