List of the most popular hashtags for theme #STARTBYBELIEVING

Anyone can commit a sexual assault, but society has historically empathized with male offenders. Judges, family members, friends, schools, and media often focus on how the allegations will "ruin their swimming career" or 'destroy their future', blaming the victim for actions the offender took and minimizing the offender's actions. #StartByBelieving #SAAM

Only 5-20 percent of sexual assaults are reported. Because a friend or family member is typically the first person a victim confides in, each person’s reaction is the first step in a long path toward justice and healing. That’s why we #StartbyBelieving. #teamfrieda #teamcarol #cblock #oitnb #oitnb6 @oitnb @theashleyjordyn

#startbybelieving @evawintl in San Diego. Grateful and honored to be a part of supporting victims of sexual assault. You can make the pledge too!

Four years after being assaulted, Esther experienced her first flashback. Remembering the horror she endured at 16 years old sent her reeling, turning to self harm, suicide attempts and hospitalizations. At one point, she writes, “The only end I could see in sight was me buried in a grave.” But one day, things began to change, slowly but surely. Thank you for your brave Truth, Esther. We’re grateful you’re here and we believe (in) you. Click the link in our bio to read her full Truth. Note that this Truth contains explicit and graphic detail of assault and might not be suitable for some readers. #HoneyTruthTellers #HoneyOrg

[#sponsored - a note on that] It’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month during a year that’s seen more progress for survivor-victims than any other this decade. It’s important that we follow the MeToo movement with real action. Show up, read up, and speak up! One way to be an ally is to support your local rape crisis centers. Text MOCSA to 52182 to donate to Kansas City’s Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault (@mocsakc). These are folks who dedicate all of their time to helping survivors. They’re planning some exciting events this month, so be sure to follow along. Pledge to believe survivors! Fight the cultural scripts that place the burden of proof on survivor-victims. Support survivor-victims by donating to your local rape crisis centers. Advocate by volunteering your time/services or donating your money. #standwithmocsa #startbybelieving #mocsa * *** a note on sponsorship on my account: I’ve turned down a few opportunities in the past, because I felt they compromised the integrity of my work. I will not make it a habit to post paid ads, but this time around, it was a cause that’s close to my heart. I hope you will understand. Thank you for trusting me with your time! I’d be remiss if I didn’t also mention Lawrence’s own Care Center (@stacarecenter), whose services I’ve utilized. Did you know that in the past few years they’ve developed a curriculum designed to teach bartenders about bystander intervention — one that’s been adapted all around the US. They are rockstars who have my forever-admiration.
