Listen alone, with a family member or trusted adult, or friend to get answers, gain more information about this important topic and learn about resources for teens and those that care about them.

Ask Ava, Ep. 257: Do victims share a responsibility for their assault because of the clothes they wear or the situations they put themselves in?
NO! Assault only happens because the assaulter chooses to commit the assault. This question is an example of victim-blaming, and makes it harder for survivors to get the support they need. We believe survivors! Learn more on today’s episode of the Ask Ava podcast.
