Section 2 — Responsibility Shift
No More Victim Blame
For too long, women’s safety has been framed around what women should do differently. This section resets that narrative — clearly and unapologetically.
🚫 The Old Narrative
Women are often told to:
• Dress differently
• Walk differently
• Speak differently
• Avoid certain places
This places responsibility on the person at risk — not the behaviour creating the risk.
🔄 The Aware360 Shift
Responsibility belongs with:
• The person choosing harmful behaviour
• The systems that enable or ignore it
• The environments that allow risk to grow
Safety education should empower — not restrict.
🧠 Agency Without Blame
Aware360 teaches awareness and early action without suggesting fault.
Choosing safer options does not mean responsibility for harm.
It means understanding risk — and having choices.
👥 Shared Responsibility
Safety improves when:
• Communities intervene early
• Bystanders act safely
• Systems support prevention
Women should not carry the burden alone.
✅ The Core Truth
Being aware does not mean being responsible for harm.
Responsibility always sits with the person choosing harmful behaviour.
Awareness • Distance • Early Action • Confidence • Shared Responsibility
