SHE’S ASKING FOR IT: THE CULTURE OF VICTIM BLAMING SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Why is it that when someone was robbed, we curse the robbers? When someone was kidnapped, we are mad by the kidnappers? Yet when someone was seacuelly harassed, we blamed the victims? Seriously? Is this how the world works now? This is the one of the toxic culture of people: Victims blaming

One of the problems that are faced by women are the constant harassment in the streets. they recieve unwanted comments, gestures, and actions forced on a stranger in a public place without their consent and is directed at them. One may say that,”Maybe your clothes are too revealling.” “Stop dressing like as slut.” but trust me, women are not to blame. They are not at fault.

Even though some women might harassed some ather men, reports about sexual harassment among women are more frequent

Harassment is about power and control. It includes whistling, learning sexist, homophobic or transphobic slurs, persistentrequestnfor someone’s name, number or destination after they’ve said no, sexual names, comments and demands, following, flasing, public masturbation, groping, sexual assault, and rape.

Besides the fact that they are commonly in danger, some people are blaming them instead of supporting and helping them.

While people blame women for the way they dressed, many are still seaxually harassed by just wearing a simple clothing just like jeans, a plain shirt or a uniform. Its doesn’t mean that they are wearing sexy clothes, you have the right to say stuff without consent. It doesn’t give you a gate pass to treat them sexually. CONSENT IS A MUST!

This exhibition has put up clothes worn by rape victim. Clearly, it shows they clothes is not a factor why they harassed. As you can see, there a dress worn by a kid. Imagine an innocent child being raped. Are you going to tell her “Oh. She’s asking for it.” probably no.

This must come to an end. let us stop the victim blaming culture. Let us help women to: SPEAK UP, STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
