Body
Summary:
Start by Believing is a public awareness campaign designed by End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI) to change the way our communities respond to rape and sexual assault. Start by Believing is a public awareness campaign uniquely focused on the public response to sexual assault. Because a friend or family member is typically the first person a victim confides in after an assault, each individual’s personal reaction is the first step in a long path toward justice and healing. Knowing how to respond is critical-a negative response can worsen the trauma and foster an environment where perpetrators face zero consequences for their crimes.
