Motion text
That this House notes that the What Were You Wearing? art exhibition was displayed in Scotland for the first time at the University of St Andrews in March; understands that the exhibition is a recreation of a number outfits which were worn by people when they were sexually assaulted; further understands that the exhibition aims to challenge the blaming of survivors of sexual assault by recognising that the clothes someone wears are not in any way a substitute for giving consent; commends the StAnd Together initiative, Kara Stewart, Got Consent Coordinator and other University of St Andrews students for organising the exhibition; stands with survivors of sexual assault; and calls on the Government to do more to counter violence against women and girls.
