The Victim Posterchild

Over the past few years, I've watched as victims of sexual assault and abuse have banded together on social media to erase the stigma associated with rape victims.

"Rape has only one cause: Rapists."

"No means No."

Powerful campaigns such as the ones centered around the phrases above are created by those who are victims of sexual assault.

I created the poster above after seeing one social media campaign centered around the idea that the clothes worn by the victims is the cause of their rape and assault. After reading stories after stories of people who were abused when they were children, this image popped into my brain. With the combination of several different phrases, this poster creates a powerful message for the campaign against sexual assault:

It is NEVER the fault of the victim.
