The Why Factor   /     Victim blaming

Description

The trauma of sexual assault is both personal and brutal. But what may be an indisputably traumatic event for one person is often challenged by another, and the responsibility for events gets scattered in the process. In this edition of the Why Factor, Nastaran Tavakoli-Far asks: in cases of sexual assault, why do we so often blame the victim?
