#WhyIDidntReport, a passion project, is a social movement to hear, believe and fight for sexual assault survivors who haven’t reported their stories. We made a platform to encourage them to share their stories, which inspire other survivors and let them feel they’re not alone. We started this project with $0 budget but their stories could receive billions of social impression by our supporters around the world.

In 2018, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford bravely testified against then-U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh for sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers in the summer of 1982.

The president then targeted Dr.Ford and tried to cast doubt on her allegations.

As a response, we created…

a dedicated Instagram account (@WhyIDidntReport) and a simple Instagram template for survivors all over the world to share the reasons why they didn't report their sexual assaults (anonymous upon request) with the hashtag #WhyIDidntReport

In conjunction,

we posted more than 5000 copies of fliers all around NYC. We were also able to reach other cities and countries all around the world through our volunteers’ help.

Via IG story,

people take a photo of the flyer and type their stories on the Instagram Story feature. If they tag our Instagram account @whyididntreport, we also share it on our Story feature.
