Some choose to not be defined by the act of the perpetrator upon them, so they discard the "victim" tag and see themselves rather as a "survivor." Being a "survivor" can create a more positive outlook while involved in a process of healing. It doesn't deter the process of healing from occurring.
On a ladder scale, being a survivor is in-between being a victim (bottom rung) and moving towards healing (top rung). Survivors do what it takes to reach a healthy life again--including talking with others about their experience. It also gives them strength to help others along the way.
Although it's true that if a person was assaulted, they were victimized and did not choose it--some choose to not stay a victim.
