But what's Sexual assault in the first place? Sexual assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention. Examples of this are voyeurism (when someone watches private sexual acts), exhibitionism (when someone exposes him/herself in public), incest (sexual contact between family members), and sexual harassment. It can happen in different situations: in the home by someone you know, on a date, or by a stranger in an isolated place.

[Trigger Warning: This post contains a description and photos of physical assault that may potentially be triggering for survivors of such abuse.]
...Since it was published, Lewkowicz’s project has received negative attention because many commenters feel that Lewkowicz should have tried to stop the abuse rather than standing by and documenting the incident on her camera. Lewkowicz actually did call 911 (and includes images of their response in her photo essay as well), but for many this was not enough. Even Maggie was attacked by commenters for allowing the abuse to happen, for staying with Shane, and for not fighting back. As one commenter states, “She is not a victim. She is the perpetrator.” But as Jina Moore notes in her article on Salon.com, the only person who isn’t blamed in these comments is the man committing the violence.

People are afraid to have to do something about the issue. It's much easier to attack the messenger.

For today, we don't even have the right to enjoy our homes, our private spaces, without fearing violence, rape, or worse. And when we dare to point that out, we are not merely dismissed, we are punished.

"The abuse and exploitation of vulnerable women and girls in all its forms is nothing less than a national tragedy, and it must stop," Manitoba Aboriginal Affairs Minister Eric Robinson said late Tuesday. "Our focus is to establish the best way to get the answers we all want so urgently. We are not ruling out any options to get those answers as quickly as possible."

Recent comments by Wisconsin Rep. Don Pridemore, combined with his attacks on single mothers, gave us pause as to whether Representative Pridemore really understood that women are individual human beings with basic human rights, or if he takes that whole Adam's rib thing literally
