We’re sickened by the news that Harvey Weinstein’s verdict has been overturned by New York’s highest court. This is upsetting on multiple levels, especially when it comes during Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. 1/

Each of us has an important part in creating a future free from sexual violence, and it begins with how we respond to survivors.

Here are tips for how you can help a survivor of sexual violence, during Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and beyond.

Survivors of sexual violence deserve to be believed. Dismissing sexual assault as 'normal behavior' creates a culture where survivors are afraid to speak out.

If you have experienced sexual violence and need help, call WOAR - Philadelphia Center Against Sexual Violence's 24-hour crisis hotline at 215-985-3333. #SAAPM

Emotional abuse is a form of intimate partner violence that can look like:
✔️ Blaming a partner for everything
✔️ Constantly checking in on a partner's location & who they're with
✔️ Gaslighting
✔️ Total access to a partner's email & social media accounts

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week ( #NCVRW ) begins today. Millions of crime victims, including domestic violence survivors, rely on the Victims of Crime Act ( #VOCA ), which is currently facing a catastrophic 40% cut. Tell Congress: #SaveVOCA . Victims can't wait any longer.

Preventing sexual harassment, abuse, and assault takes awareness and action beyond one month. What future events/programs are you working on? Share an opportunity to stay involved after April.

WOAR can help. Reach out by phone or text to 215-985-3333. #saam2024
