Tightening penalties for sexual assault offences is key to prosecuting survivors' justice and protecting women and girls from sexual abuse. # NoShameNoBlame #لا_عرض_ولا_عار

[Nada Halabi @NadaHalabiAs]

Sexual assault offences are increasing in Lebanon, while penalties for such offences are still reduced. One of the main reasons for this is the constant link between women's bodies and what is known as dignity and honour, which we totally reject. #لا_عرض_ولا_عار@ghida

It is important to collect evidence documenting the occurrence of sexual abuse (such as saliva on wounds, semen, substances under nails and others) even if you do not have the desire to report the incident and prosecute the aggressor legally. #NoShameNoBlame #لا_عرض_ولا_عار

To reduce the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection or HIV - AIDS, you must seek appropriate medical care within 72 hours (3 days) of sexual abuse. #NoShameNoBlame #لا_عرض_ولا_عار

"I reported the sexual assault I was victim of but long after it happened, and after relocating to another region. I didn't dare doing it before, I was too afraid of him. My environment was not supportive as the society always puts the blame on women victims #لا_عرض_ولا_عار

"Unfortunately, sexual assault crimes in Lebanon are still linked to honor, dignity, and shame. It is important to address these crimes independently from society’s deep-rooted stereotypes, and to deal with them firmly." @ghidanani #NoShameNoBlame #لا_عرض_ولا_عار
