| The perpetrator, not the survivor, is responsible for the assault — always.
|
| Survivors have made the best choices and decisions possible — given the constraints, fears, feelings, and circumstances at the time.
|
| No one deserves to be raped. Sexual assault is not about something that was wrong with the survivor — or anything she or he did, said, wore, or thought.
|
| Survivors have strength and healing capacity. Although it may take time and be difficult, every survivor can move through an individual process and recover from sexual assault. |
