Sensitive content
This site contains sensitive content that includes references to sexual violence.
Sometimes, as an advocate, you might use media like newspapers, TV interviews, podcasts and online news sites to share your message or experience. These opportunities can provide risks for those who speak out.
1. Once you say something to the media, it's hard to take it back or change it.
2. Talking about personal trauma might be made worse by reporters who aren't respectful.
3. You could become a target for harassment online or in person.
4. Your reputation and possibly legal safety might be at risk.
These risks can be serious, and the Brave Movement wants to make sure people who talk to the media know about them.
