This pride month we recognize the intersections and overlap between victim-survivors of TFSV and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. ❤️

CASMIDA @casmidaproject.bsky.social · Jun 4

There is limited literature about the nature or scale of sexual violence experienced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Singapore. However, scholarship from elsewhere in the world including Australia, China, the UK, and the US indicate the urgent need for further research and intervention.

CASMIDA @casmidaproject.bsky.social · Jun 4

While all individuals and bodies should be treated with respect and care, members of the LGBTQIA+ community are too often subject to violence. This includes technology facilitated sexual violence (TFSV), intimate partner violence (IPV), and other sexual harms.

CASMIDA @casmidaproject.bsky.social · Jun 4

We stand in solidarity will all victim-survivors and all members of the LGBTQIA+ community in recognition of a mutual struggle for a safer future free of fear or shame.

Today, 30th April 2025, is #DenimDay

We don our denim in solidarity with victim-survivors of sexual assault. Today our blue jeans are a reminder that there is #NoExcuse for assault be it physical or digital.

Image of blue jeans with a leather tag that reads "Denim Day 2025" from the CASMIDA Project

Text over a denim pocket that reads "Victim-survivors often face blame for their experiences of technology-facilitated sexual violence. However, the responsibility lies with the person who commits the offense and violates consent." With a note to see our publication in Violence Against Women for more information about victim blaming on college campuses in Singapore.
