tw// sexual assault

im not a big account but i want to use whatever little influence i have to spread some awareness on sexual assault. so april is sexual assault awareness month and the reason why it means so much to me is because i have been a victim of sexual assault.
im lucky enough to have a loving family and a supportive group of friends who have helped me recover but i also do understand that some other people may not have such a privilege like me and may still be reeling from the effects of what injustice has been done to them.
victims are never the reason for their sexual assault. "sexual assault and abuse are actions that one person chooses to inflict on another" (NSVRC, 2019), but i hope that instead of focusing on individuals we can look at the bigger picture.
also, please always ask someone for consent. consent is so important and this cannot be understated. always ask someone how theyre feeling and if it is ok. respect the answer too, that is also important too.
im sorry to talk about such a heavy topic like this but i feel like it is something i have to say and make aware if i can.
