Reply #180: What do the victims want? [View All]

Do the rape victims want pictures of themselves being tortured exposed world-wide? Some might want this and others might prefer that they not be exposed like that. This should be the victim's choice. Coping with what happened to them is difficult enough without doing something that could potentially retraumatize them. OTH, there are those who might feel empowered by exposing their perps and letting the world know who they are and what they are capable of. It could be a way to put the shame and humiliation back where it belongs, on the perp. Again, I think it should be the victims' choice and what benefits their healing of this very personal trauma, no one elses.
