What Were You Wearing Exhibition - 16 Day of Activism 2025
For the second year running we are holding this exhibition as provides a tangible response to one of our culture’s most pervasive rape myths. “What were you wearing?” This terrible myth insinuates that people’s, but especially women’s, clothing is some how responsible for sexual violence. This exhibition aims to show how absurd this concept is and how in reality the only person at fault is the perpetrator.
- The What Were You Wearing (WWYW) exhibition was created & first displayed at the University of Arkansas in 2014.
- In 2017, WWYW went viral after displayed at the University of Kansas & was covered the media.
- WWYW has been recreated on six continents thousands times since 2017. Now in Perth and Kinross for the second year.
Outfits featured in this exhibition have been recreated from the stories of survivors.
*content warning* Some people, especially survivors may find this exhibition difficult or distressing. Our workers will be there, to offer support, if you feel that you might like to view this exhibition.

Navigating Self-Blame
Many survivors of sexual violence blame themselves for what they’ve experienced at some point during their survivor journey. But why would we blame ourselves for the actions of others — and how can we challenge this?
Read our new blog post on self blame here...
https://www.rasacpk.org.uk/.../navigating-self-blame---a.../
Here is peek at what the blog looks at:
- -1. Self-blame can give us a sense of control.
- -Instead: Self-compassion can give us our power back.
- -2. Self-blame can help us stay connected.
- -Instead: Attributing responsibility correctly can free us to act.
- -3. Self-blame can help us avoid change.
- -Instead: Embracing change can allow us to grow.
- -4. Self-blame can protect us from facing what happened.
- -Instead: Self-acceptance can help us find a way forward.
Remember: What happened was not your fault. Healing takes time, self compassion, and self love — and you deserve all three.
