Then mentioned we watched a YouTube clip of trans people and their experience with sexual assault and how horrific it was and mind blowing and no one should ever experience that . You also learned about SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND IDENTITYand their satistics were very sad and concerning to you.

Mention how you also learned UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA
We have limited control over how we react in a traumatic situation.
fight or flight
These are SURVIVAL responses, based on the body’s instinct to PROTECT us.
freeze or appease tend and befriend mention you didn’t know We have limited control over how we react in a traumatic situation. What I leaned was the reality Most survivors (over 80%) already knew the person who assaulted them. that satistic was sad but not surprising because you know people who have been victims of sexual assault and they have known the individual. I also learned about what is WHAT IS VICTIM-BLAMING?
“Victim-blaming is the attitude which suggests that the victim rather than the perpetrator bears responsibility for the assault.
It is never the victim’s fault.” and no I will do my best to have this awareness and share this with others because it’s important at the end of the day it’simportnt to report sexual assault and after the presentation I have a new profound awareness and I want to share this with other around me and inform those who might not know what I know. I’m very happy to have taken this workshop because this is vital to know our resources and ultimately know we aren’t alone
