Myths and misconceptions about domestic abuse and sexual assault can be deeply harmful to survivors. They can create shame, discourage people from seeking support, and make it harder for individuals to feel believed.

By challenging harmful assumptions and choosing empathy, we can help create a community where survivors feel supported, respected, and never alone. 💜
