Composed of a network of survivors, psychologists, counselors, therapists, legal, and political firms from all over the world, the advocacy aims to raise awareness through events and projects that also serve as a helpline for victims.
“It’s a culture wherein somebody opens up about being a victim and people tend to say, ‘maybe it was your fault why it happened,’ ‘maybe you we were wearing something provocative.’ These statements often give the perpetrators the benefit of the doubt instead of fully supporting the victim and often the reason why victims often remain silent leading to issues to not be completely addressed,” Kyra noted.
