When survivors have the courage to tell someone they were raped or sexually assaulted, they are often blamed or not believed. Start by Believing is a public awareness campaign designed to change the way we respond to survivors of rape or sexual assault. On this day, we invite all of San Antonio to take the pledge to Start by Believing! Share your experience of being believed or not believed at rapecrisis.com/sbb. Show your support by using #SATXbelieves.
