Everyday Victim Blaming

challenging institutional disbelief around domestic & sexual violence and abuse

Why did you not…

While using public transport in the north east I challenged a man about smoking in the metro carriage. I was physically attacked by this man on a full carriage as he left the metro. A Victim Support volunteer made the following comments:

"You challenged him about smoking? Oh you see I would have put my head down and said nothing, I see all sorts of things but never say anything".

I made a formal complaint...
Thanks for creating this site, it really matters.
