To End Victim Blaming, Artist Draws Illustrations Explaining Why It’s Wrong
Victim blaming is a dangerous logical fallacy in which the victims are blamed for the actions of the people bullying or abusing. Katarzyna Babis, an art student in Poland, decided to tackle this issue with simple comics that illustrate the problems with different forms of victim blaming.
"Lots of my friends experience such situations in their [lives] and I wanted to help them," Babis told MTV. "I wanted to turn my social media popularity into something meaningful. I think it’s really, really important to know you’re not alone with your problem."

Sometimes I see people misunderstaking depression with sadness, so that's (I think) many times despression is underestimated. People sometimes take depression as a cry for attention and don't take it seriously. So... I think people should start to say 'Im sad' instead of 'Im depressed'.

Unfortunately, because people who are sad or unhappy interchangeably use 'depressed' instead, people don't hear it as a cry for help when someone who is seriously, dangerously depressed says they're depressed. The point isn't to look at someone who says they're depressed and try to decide IF they need help, it's important to take anyone who says they're depressed and listen to them. Someone might be *Depressed* or they might be sad, but either way they've told you as a cry for help... if you don't want to help or can't, at least take it seriously enough to find someone who can help.

Amazing. Don't forget the make victims of sex assaults by female perpetrators are sometimes touted as "lucky" and not victimized. And gay couples are not immune to domestic violence.
