Gabrielle Union took to her Twitter account Sunday to shut down the idea that if a woman dresses modestly it will prevent her from being raped.
Gabrielle started off her series of tweets off by reminding her followers that sexual assault can happen to anyone at anytime.
“Sexual violence & harassment can happen to anyone at any time anywhere,” she tweeted.
Sexual violence & harassment can happen to anyone at anytime anywhere.

“Ppl remain silent 4 many different very personal reasons. Judgment, victim shaming/blaming, loss of job/$, fear of violence, retaliation.”
Gabrielle then challenged the idea that some folks have, that women should dress modestly to avoid rape.
Though I was raped by a stranger who raped me at gunpoint after robbing the store, I was still asked by a female "friend" what I had worn

Reminder. I got raped at work at a Payless shoe store. I had on a long tunic & leggings so miss me w/ "dress modestly" shit.
