I've fixed the NHS / Home Office rape-victim-blaming poster

So in 2/3 of cases the victim hasn't been drinking.

Would you share it?

Thing is ... I don't know if I'm brave enough

Is this poster even legit? Fucking disgusting victim blaming.

NorthernSoul55 · 29/01/2023 00:44

Yes, absolutely.
Where are these posters being displayed? I'll carry a red sharpie at all times..

The NHS has been showing its misogynistic colours for a long time.

What do you mean you fixed it?

That poster has been fixed by 100s of people on the internet since it first came out in 2014.

This was from a 2014 campaign that was withdrawn quite fast. Obvs we would always prefer to never have women being victimblamed. But this poster is not one to get outraged over, 9 years afterwards.

Not defending the poster: but there was outrage at the time it was created, and it's not been in circulation for a while... www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/pavan-amara/victim-blaming-campaign_b_5640602.html; www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2706734/Anger-government-poster-appears-blame-rape-alcohol-women-drink.html (pols for the DM link)

Snap, Duplicate <fist bump>

I totally agree with the amends you've made.

However, this was from 2014 and I hope lessons have been learnt about victim blaming since then!

I had to check it wasn't a 9 year old thread 😏

TightFistedWozerk · 29/01/2023 00:54

I do agree with your amendments, OP.

Do you suffer from terminal Hey I Have Read This Already-itis too? (it is akin to elephant memory for threads, sometimes a curse)

Yes and once when I checked out the AS, I found it was me under a previous user name! 🙈😂

Thankyou everyone for the date info! The reason I believed it was new was that I saw it on LinkedIn yesterday from a very reputable source and all the conversation suggested it was a current publication. Good to know it was recalled!
