About the Event
Debuted at our FreeTHEM Gala, the "What Were You Wearing?" Exhibit boldly answers the question often used to blame survivors: “What were you wearing?” It features outfits worn by survivors at the time of their assault—some original, others recreated—and paired them with survivors’ stories. The question is reframed here to confront and challenge the harmful narratives that shift responsibility from perpetrators to survivors. By presenting these outfits, we hope to emphasize that clothing never invites violence, nor do victims. Only the perpetrator is to blame.
