Breaking My Silence by Freddie Cocker

Whether it happened in Year 4 or Year 5 is something I can’t pinpoint exactly, nor the day it happened nor the week, month or even year. All I know is that it happened between 2002-2003.

'I give a damn if you're blamed for the hurt you were handed, if you're made to believe you're deserving of pain.' #chanelmiller #survivor #hero #knowhername#ptsd #believesurvivors #metoo #thegeminiproject #timesup #hearmetoo #survivorsolidarity #stopenablingsexualviolence #stopdefendingabusers #stopprotectingrapists #rapeculture #stopvictimblaming #endvictimshaming #thetruthwillprevail #justiceforsurvivors

It happened. My body remembers, my mind doesn't allow me to forget. You not believing me does nothing to make it any less true or real. It just serves to make yourself comfortable and makes you complicit to their abuse. Stop enabling abusers, believe survivors. #ptsd #believesurvivors #metoo #thegeminiproject #timesup #hearmetoo #survivorsolidarity #stopenablingsexualviolence #stopdefendingabusers #stopprotectingrapists #rapeculture #stopvictimblaming #endvictimshaming #thetruthwillprevail #justiceforsurvivors

Speaking out often helps to heal and you have every right to reclaim yourself by telling your story. Everything you feel is valid and trauma responses vary, there is no ‘right way’ to react. You are doing amazing and we are with you. #survivorsolidarity #believesurvivors #evawg #metoo #metoovoter #askaboutmetoo #hearmetoo #timesup #endrapeculture #thegeminiproject #speakout

Stop abusers silencing survivors. Let our voices be heard. Art by @sarah.epperson #thetruthwillcomeout #stopdefendingabusers #evawg #believesurvivors #speakout #thegeminiproject #hearmetoo #metoo #timesup #endthesilence

They’ll always say ‘it’s your word against his’ but the truth is it often takes multiple victims for a survivors allegations to be taken seriously. The fear of wrongly labelling a man a rapist is stronger than having a rapist walking around having evaded justice for their crimes. A woman’s life being damaged by sexual violence is seen as lesser than the man being accused having his reputation damaged by the label of being a rapist.

There is comfort in silence, but we won’t stay silent so that you can stay comfortable. Stop silencing survivors because the truth makes you uneasy. #theytruthwillsetyoufree #thetruthwillcomeout #endthesilence #speakup #speakout #stopdefendingabusers #stopprotectingrapists #metoo #hearmetoo #timesup #thegeminiproject #evawg #believesurvivors #survivor #exposeabuse #orangetheworld

Things that are not consent: intoxication, silence, clothing, sleep/ unconsciousness, previous encounters, hesitancy. Things that are consent: an enthusiastic yes.

Believe all survivors. Perpetrators will grab on to the societal myth of prevalent false allegations in order to paint their victim as a liar and cast doubt on the legitimacy of their story. But the truth is, false allegations are rare and account for less than 4-6% of reports. It’s far more common for the perpetrator to lie about not being an abuser than for a survivor to lie about being abused by them. Always believe survivors, they deserve support and not suspicion. Survivors don’t lie, abusers do.
