Support Us!
Everyday Victim Blaming is a not-for-profit organisation which relies on donations to keep going - all donations are reinvested into the campaign.
We can't do it without your help. Please sign up to support us today with a one-off donation or a regular gift. Together, we will end institutional victim blaming in domestic and sexual violence and abuse.
You can also help with the following:
1. challenging media misrepresentations and poor use of language on social media. We've seen a number of media outlets changing language like 'child sex' to 'child rape' when challenged with a single tweet.
2. Writing a post (as short or as long as you want!) naming and shaming media outlets which use inappropriate, misleading or offensive language here. Even one sentence pointing out victim blaming helps us keep track of the big offenders.
3. File a formal complaint directly with the publication or online news source. If you send us a copy we can publish the complaint on our website with your personal details redacted.
4. File a formal complaint with the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO).
5. Make a complaint to the Attorney General about an unduly lenient sentence in cases of domestic and sexual violence and abuse.
6. Buy online from retailers like John Lewis, Ebay, Argos, Apple, Debenhams, Toys R Us, Rymans, and Amazon using EVB's easy fundraising page! Follow these instructions on how to help support us!
There are lots of online shops signed up to the Easy Fundraising site, as well as insurance companies, mobiles, utilities, and travel!
You can also help financially support our campaign by buying a copy of our books:
