“What Were You Wearing?"

In fashion, this question celebrates creativity, identity, and status. For survivors of sexual assault, this question blames them for the violence that happened to them.

​

The Sexual Assault Resource Center is honored to stand with survivors on April 29, 2023 as we shatter the silence and break the stigma at our Shatter: A Survivor Fashion Show. This show will bring light to survivors' rights and awareness to the shame and stigma that survivors often feel in the aftermath of their trauma. Shatter: A Survivor Fashion Show will feature survivors and advocates walking the runway in clothes representing clothes worn by survivors during their sexual assault. This event will bring light to the stigma that survivors are to blame for the violence that happened to them. Sexual assault is never the survivors fault- no matter the clothes. The Sexual Assault Resource Center stands with survivors to break the stigma - your clothes are not consent.

​

Together, we can stand to reclaim our power and shatter the silence.
