Yearly global rape statistics is growing, many blame the victims, claiming the dressed provocatively or flirted with the perpetrators.

Organizers of an exhibition in Brussels are in a campaign to dispel the myth surrounding rape and rape victims.

An exhibition in Brussels is displaying clothing worn by rape victims at the time they were attacked, reportedly to dispel the “stubborn myth” that provocative dress is a factor in violent sexual crimes.

This exhibition is inspired by a project created by students at the University of Kansas.

The exhibition, held in the Molenbeek district of the Belgian capital, is called “Is it my fault?” It refers to the self-doubt that many victims feel after an attack, the Flanders News website reports.

The clothes loaned to the organisers – victim support group CAW East Brabant – include tracksuit bottoms, pyjamas and dresses.

CAW’s Liesbeth Kennes told VRT1 radio “What you immediately notice when you walk around here: they are all very normal pieces that anyone would wear.

“There is even a children’s shirt with an image of ‘My Little Pony’ in the exhibition, which brings home a harsh reality,” she said.
