TW: discussion of sexual violence
- it& #39;s okay to mute the hashtag. It can feel like it& #39;s important to bear witness to ppl& #39;s vulnerability in coming forward, but it& #39;s also important to keep yourself safe. Especially in these extra weird/hard times. #WhyIDidntReport

Depending on how the info was gathered for stats, ppl that didn& #39;t report WERE NOT COUNTED in those nat& #39;l stats. The assumption is always that stats are too low bc of barriers to reporting (exasperated for many groups), but to see it so clearly is painful. #WhyIDidntReport

TW: rape, believing, #WhyIDidntReport
- this isn& #39;t a place for anyone to question the experiences being shared. Not only is that a gross thing to do, this isn& #39;t a court and you& #39;re not prosecuting or defending the victim/survivor. Your role is to believe and support them.
