What is another word for victim blaming?
Pronunciation: [vˈɪktɪm blˈe͡ɪmɪŋ] (IPA) 
Victim blaming is an unfortunate and unacceptable practice that can often have lasting negative impacts on the individual who is being blamed. Synonyms for victim blaming may include scapegoating, fault-finding, and stigmatizing. These terms all indicate a sense of blame or accusation towards the victim rather than addressing the root cause of the issue. Society needs to move away from blaming victims and instead focus on creating a safe and supportive environment that addresses the root causes of violence, harassment, and abuse. This requires empathy, understanding, and a commitment to change the culture of victim blaming that is all too often prevalent in many communities.
