Article Synopsis
- An analysis of the #WhyIDidntReport hashtag highlights six main reasons survivors of sexual violence choose not to report incidents to authorities, categorized into internal and external barriers.
- External barriers include victim blaming, minimization of the crime, and the costs associated with reporting, while internal barriers involve self-blame, protecting others, and naivety.
- The study found that survivors citing external reasons received more social support online, such as shares and likes, compared to those who cited internal reasons, suggesting that perceptions of victimhood significantly influence social reactions.
