In 2018, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford bravely testified against then-U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh for sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers in the summer of 1982. The former president of the United States then targeted Dr.Ford and tried to cast doubt on her allegations.
As a response, we created a dedicated Instagram account @WhyIDidntReport and a simple Instagram template for survivors all over the world to share the reasons why they didn't report their sexual assaults (anonymous upon request) with the hashtag #WhyIDidntReport. In conjunction with the social media activation, we posted more than 5000 copies of fliers all around NYC.
To date, more than 200K brave survivors have submitted their stories to be shared on our instagram account.
To further amplify the message, we installed a large scale #WhyIDidntReport posters in high-traffic locations in NYC. We also collaborated with Kat Sullivan, a survivor of child sexual abuse, to open “#WhyIDidntReport Pop-up Gallery" to give survivors a safe place to share their stories.
