This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Duke chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

If you haven’t seen the 2012 Breaking Out gallery, go to the Women’s Center right now for the visual tribute to survivors of sexual assault. Develle Dish – Duke’s feminist blog – presents the collection of photographs, which were taken by Kristin Oakley. The gallery serves as a reminder that sexual assault affects our friends and peers, not just strangers. Breaking Out is a reflection of the victims’ courage to speak up, “the strongest act of defiance” for an act that “thrives on the silence of its victims or bystanders” (Gallery Opening Event Description).
