What Were You Wearing? Exhibit

Join the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO) and Sexual Assault Centre for Waterloo Region (SASC) for the What Were You Wearing? art installation. What Were You Wearing? is an art exhibit based on student-survivor descriptions of the clothes they were wearing when they were sexually assaulted. Sexual assault survivors are often asked, “what were you wearing?”, implying that what someone wears can cause a sexual assault.

This myth about sexual violence is used to blame survivors and justify the actions of those who cause harm. Survivors are never to blame for their experience(s) of sexual violence. We all have the right to wear what we want. 

The “What Were You Wearing?” Survivor Art Installation originated at the University of Arkansas in 2013. Created by Jen Brockman and Dr. Mary Wyandt-Hiebert, the project was inspired by Dr. Mary Simmerling’s poem, What I Was Wearing. Oregon State University interpreted and recreated a virtual exhibit.

This semester, the SVPRO in partnership with SASC is recreating the exhibit to highlight the pervasiveness of victim-blaming and the harm and trauma it causes survivors.

Responding to Disclosures of Sexual Violence Workshop

The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO), in partnership with the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region (SASC) is providing Responding to a Disclosure of Sexual Violence workshop as part of the art exhibit, What Were You Wearing?

This training will help prepare participants to supportively respond to a disclosure of sexual violence, and build confidence in their ability to respond. It will also unpack sexual violence myths, including victim blaming associated with survivors based on what they were wearing - let's dispel this myth.
