"What were you wearing?"
"Did you fight back?" These are among the questions that the creators of a new advocacy campaign never want to hear asked of a sexual assault victim.

In their video, they also implore viewers to believe people who say they've been raped.
The campaign comes at a time when the national conversation about sexual assault is heated.
In a recent Los Angeles Times column, Meghan Daum questions the lack of nuance coming from some circles.
"What are we to make of activists who say things like 'All women should be believed unconditionally?,'" Daum asks.
