Heard the saying “rose coloured glasses” before? It’s when a happy or positive attitude fails to notice negative things, leading to a view that is not realistic or clear. We’ve made a video about it regarding the early stages of Human Trafficking: https://t.co/3KSIyMAIv3

Please Read With Care 💜 Every person responds to the trauma of sexual assault differently. Their behaviour is not an indicator of their experience. It is important not to judge a person by how they respond to the assault. #myth #fact #sexualassault #consent
