It's SA (Sexual Assault) Awareness Month (April)

It's SA (Sexual Assault) Awareness Month (April)

So I want to talk about my experience and what sexual assault is.

!! if anyone you know, or you have been sexually assaulted please call 0808-500-2222 !!

SA is SA, no matter what. It is never your fault.

So, what is SA? SA is when someone has touched you in sexual ways without CONSENT. Consent is important. Consent means giving permission to do something. Consent is good in this situation, as it gives the person a green light on sexual activity. Not giving consent does NOT mean you should go ahead with sexual activity with that person.

798,000 women and 285,000 men get SA'D. SA is SA no matter what gender, age, identity, sex, anything. SA IS SA. SA can ruin someone's life, it can make them feel unsafe around certain acts or people, it can make them feel unsafe around family members, it can make them feel suicidal, it can make them do things they never thought they would.

This month is a month to SUPPORT victims, to make them feel WORTHY, to HELP them. SA SHOULD NOT BE NORMALIZED.

I want to talk about my experience, as I haven't had the chance to tell a lot of people and I feel like this would educate people. (especially on Tumblr most of u suck ngl)

When I was younger, I was getting SA'D by my father and my ex without realising it.

My Father

my father was touching my inner thigh (getting closer to that area.), touching my chest area. I did ask him to stop, and I was obviously uncomfortable. But he never stopped, he has stopped now but I've cut as much contact as I can with him. No one believed me when I said my dad was doing that to me. I was 6-13.

My Ex

I never liked her, she made me uncomfortable. She always rested on my chest when I was uncomfortable with it, and she forced me to let her sit on my lap. She is the main reason for my trust issues, as I'm not entirely sure on if she even loved me or not. I felt uncomfortable around her yet I liked the attention she gave me. I was 12.

This is to educate people, please do not ask photos of me if you're going to send this post to me. You will get blocked. Go look at my other posts for that.
