Welcome to our third series, "Responding to the Headlines". This series involves discussions around ongoing high profile sexual assault cases and the destructive themes that have reinforced  rape culture for decades. In this episode, we discuss the topic of victim blaming. If we want to continue to turn the tide on sexual assault, then we have to start believing people who come forward with allegations. We need to normalize survivors' behavior prior to and following sexual assault.
