Myths V Facts – Rape and Sexual Abuse

  • Myths about rape and other forms of sexual violence and abuse are unfortunately spread throughout society – and that can be really dangerous.
  • It can cause victims and survivors to feel shame about what happened to them. Or to blame themselves. And this can make it hard for them to get help or start to heal.
  • It can also negatively affect how society views survivors. And this can trickle down into the criminal justice system, as well as health and support services.

At RASASC Cheshire & Merseyside, we work hard to shatter these myths. And help survivors get the support they need and deserve.
