1. The way we can raise awareness for sexual
assault it to destigmatize the victims of rape and sexual violence. The
stigmatization that exists is helping the attackers and discouraging the
victims. Survivors feel that they are not able to come forward because of
legitimate reasons that unfortunately, are probably going to become reality.
Being called a liar, a slut and an attention hog are probably all going to
happen to survivors that come forward. The accused assailant sometimes are not
guilty this is true, but all you have to do is look at the numbers to see that
someone lying about sexual assault is overshadowed by the true accounts. Lady
GaGa’s “Til it Happens to You” music video has been viewed over 35 million
times that is comprised of people who don’t know about rape and people who have
been raped and everything in the middle, this video is a great step towards
making sexual assault real to many people. And making sexual violence a real
thing to people who don’t want to see it will bring awareness to the cause.
