again, most of my news lately comes via shakesville. so, today is Blog Against Sexual Violence Day. while i don’t have a lot to say at the moment, i want to post something, if only to add to the voices in the outcry. the statistics below come from RAINN.
RAINN has links to advocate groups in all 50 states, but here’s the one for Texas.
Texas Association Against Sexual Assault
Pretending that it can’t happen to you or your loved one, or blaming the victims will never help. Arm yourself with knowledge and awareness. It will never be your fault if you’re raped/sexually abused, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do to prevent it.
Thanks for participating. Every voice matters and those who want us to remain silent know this.
