Stop Blame

The Welsh Assembly Government launched a new campaign on 17th December called "Stop Blame" aimed
at challenging "blame culture" and common myths around rape and
sexual assault.  The campaign
will consist of outdoor posters, radio adverts and a website (www.stopblame.org), which will include a video and further information to challenge common rape myths, focusing on:

• Drink (myth that women who have consumed alcohol are responsible if they're raped)
• Dress (myth that revealing clothing = "asking for it")
• Demeanour (myth that flirting = asking for it / that a woman is to blame if she's raped following some consensual sexual activity)
• Domestic (challenging the "stranger rape" myth and the idea that if you're in a relationship/married, it's not "really" rape)
