My last post focused on sexual violence against women and considered how it affects their lives in general. The emphasis on risk reduction often leads to victim blaming, which can underhandedly condone sexual violence against women.

Addressing rape culture itself as a problem to change and encouraging educational efforts directed at primary prevention will help us prevent sexual violence before it takes place.
