The Wrong Questions Project

The Wrong Questions Project exposes the questions too often asked of survivors — What were you wearing? Why didn't she just leave? Why didn't you just tell someone? — for what they are: accusations that ask victims to answer for violence they did not cause.
A survivor-led, survivor-centred documentary series from Write Where We Belong, founded by Mary Simmerling, PhD. Through the What Were You Wearing? exhibit and short films, we document child sexual abuse, domestic violence, and gender-based violence — and the institutional failures that protect perpetrators: the architecture of impunity.
Because justice is inseparable from voice, and the wrong questions yield wrong answers.
