People Ask ‘What Did You Wear’ When Women Were Sexually Assaulted. These Answers Have Gone Viral

These photos will change the way you look at the victims of sexual assault and prove that what a person wears doesn’t impact whether they are assaulted.

Katherine Cambareri was a senior at Arcadia University when she decided to do something truly innovative for her thesis project. Her project is called, “Well, What Were You Wearing?” and captures images of what victims were wearing while they were sexually assaulted.

1. Sexual Assault is About Power, Control and Humiliation. Some People Have a Very Steep Learning Curve

2. That very question provided the impetus for thr Slut Walk marches.

SlutWalk is a transnational movement of protest marches calling for an end to rape culture, including victim blaming and slut shaming of sexual assault victims. Specifically, participants protest against explaining or excusing rape by referring to any aspect of a woman's appearance. The rallies began on April 3, 2011, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, after a Toronto Police officer suggested that "women should avoid dressing like sluts" as a precaution against sexual assault. Subsequent rallies have occurred globally.

4. Thanks for sharing this

I hope that the current moment where we are seeing more and more women coming forward will help us (mostly guys, but there are some women who don't get it either) understand the scope, the commonality of sexual assault. That anybody can be a victim, and it's never their fault. That far too many of us men have looked the other way too long.
