Author and survivor of csa Shannon Molloy joins Madeleine to talk about his new book 'You Made Me This Way' and the story's and stars aligning that led to this being created. Part memoir, part self-help, part investigative journalism deep-dive in the taboo topic of male child sexual abuse, You Made Me This Way is driven by Shannon revealing his own experience of having been sexually abused as a young child, and his grappling to understand how this has shaped him. And in doing so, gives voice to a shared trauma of sexually abused men in an attempt to understand the traumatic long-term effects of male child abuse and the way in which society supports (or doesn't support) survivors. The majority of men sexually abused as children never speak about their past and hide their shame and trauma away, forever carrying an enormous burden on their own, often with terrible consequences. I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to speak with Shannon, and to read this amazing book.

Content warning: This series includes graphic descriptions of sexual violence. If you or anyone you know is experiencing sexual violence and abuse, help is available. Please see resources below.Victoria, British Columbia[Part 1 of 2] In this two-part series, we explore Kelly Favro's harrowing journey from surviving a two-hour sexual assault to becoming the first person in British Columbia to have a publication ban removed from her name - by herself.Publication bans are routinely ordered to protect the privacy of vulnerable participants in the criminal justice system. But in the case of sexual assault complainants, what if they didn't actually consent to the publication ban? What if they don't want it?What happens when publication bans backfire?Along the way, Kelly met many other sexual assault survivors and learned that she was not alone. You'll also hear the stories of Jade Neilson and Samantha Geiger, two survivors who discovered publication bans had been put on their names without their consent, and how it impacted them in completely separate but negative ways.It all culminated in a trip to Parliament Hill in Ottawa to fight for changes.--------------------------------Special thanks to Kelly Favro.Please help sexual assault survivors Sign the petition now to give victim-complainants more agency and choice when it comes to publication bans on their names.Eligibility: Citizens and residents of Canada are eligible to sign the petitionDeadline: 9am EST on March 10th, 2023Follow on twitter: @AmendPubBanLaws More information:See the page for this episode at www.canadiantruecrime.ca/episodesResources for Sexual Violence and Abuse:REES Community - Canada Sexual Assault Centres by province or postal codeEnding Violence Canada - Sexual Assault Centres, Crisis Lines and Support ServicesListen ad-free and early:CTC premium feeds are available on Amazon Music - included with Prime, Apple Podcasts, Patreon and Supercast.

[Part 1 of 5] CONTENT WARNING: Graphic details of violent sexual assault and allegations involving a minor.FROM CANADIAN IDOL TO CONVICTED SEX OFFENDERAs frontman for the pop-rock band Hedley, Jacob Hoggard was known for pushing boundaries—both on and off the stage. By 2022 he would also be known as one of Canada's most notorious sex offenders. How did his behaviour go unchecked for so long? This series explores how the rise and downfall of Jacob Hoggard in the era of #metoo, and how myths around consent, rape and groupie culture continue to dominate the social discourse... and our criminal justice system.

The message that needs to go viral. After mentioning being a victim of childhood sexual abuse in Episode one, Jayna received far too many messages from women who shared similar experiences. Today, Jayna finally takes the microphone to share the full story. This story is her own but isn't just about her, it's so much bigger.  it's time to open the doors and let some light shine on the girls who have been hidden alone in the darkness. With 80% of women experiencing sexual assault before the age of 25, this issue is far too common. It's heavy and hard to talk about and will be equally as hard to hear, but the silence isn't helping anyone except the abusers.  If you or someone you love has survived sexual abuse we encourage you to talk to someone. You are not alone, we believe you and we support you. We are not healthcare professionals and are not authorized to offer professional advice, but we are happy to listen and offer resources to help support you in your healing journey.    If you want to connect with us, you can reach us at Jayna@biglashpodcast.com  Don't forget to follow us on Instagram,  Check out our website, Join our email list to be a #BLEBestie!  Sign Up here!    Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

Max is a speaker passionate about instilling self-respect in young men through thoughtful romantic interactions and personal development. He draws on more than 20 years' experience and witnessing the mistakes repeatedly made by young men when interacting with women. Over the years, Max realised that young women frequently discuss these issues between themselves, but they were rarely talked about among young men. Given this divide in education and peer learning, it became clear to him that simply telling young men “no means no” is insufficient in the real-world. Max believes that avoidance of difficult topics and the premise of a well-raised boy “figuring things out” is inadequate.
