Victim Blaming

In the wake of the Sarah Everard case recently, there has been a lot of advice to women on how best to not get raped and murdered. There's also been a narrative of 'she did everything right'. All of which smacks of victim blaming. So, this week, Rachel, Hannah, Jo and Chloe will explain what victim blaming is and why we do it, and look at why it's so often applied to women. We'll end by asking what we can all do, practically speaking, to start to end this damaging narrative once and for all. Warning, we might get a little bit cross at times!! Here's a link to the Canary article we mention in the session - https://www.thecanary.co/opinion/2021/09/28/why-she-was-just-walking-home-feeds-a-victim-blaming-narrative/ Want to join in the conversation?

And don't forget to do all the stuff everyone always tells you to do!
