What Were You Wearing? - Dispelling myths surrounding Sexual Assault and Clothing
In support of UTSA’s reaffirmation of a zero-tolerance environment for sexual violence and as campus advocates that support students, faculty and staff who have experienced these issues, The Peace Center wants to bring awareness about sexual assault. We want visitors to understand that it can occur regardless of age, gender, or what a person is wearing. Survivors are often asked after an assault, “What were you wearing?” which immediately puts the blame on the victim instead of the perpetrator, where blame should be. This exhibit aims to shatter that myth.
The Exhibit will be hosted in Gallery23, which is located in the Student Union. This exhibit will be available for students to view from April 3 through to April 28.
Survivors can submit their stories confidentially and anonymously
**We will do our best to match the description of your clothing with our exhibit, we cannot guarantee an exact replica due to limitations of finding articles of clothing at thrift stores**
We are passionate about helping our community through advocacy and prevention efforts that meet the culturally diverse needs of our campus.
