Your nervous system has a built-in Freeze and Appease response to manage the threat of sexual assault, aka the Fawn response. Learn to forgive yourself and train to respond differently. Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership When someone experiences sexual harassment or sexual assault, their body often doesn't react the way they expect. Instead of fighting or running, they might freeze, fawn, or appease—smiling, complying, or going still, even when they feel terrified inside. In this video, we'll explore the Freeze and Fawn Response—sometimes called the Freeze-Appease Response—and how these instinctive reactions are the body's way of trying to stay safe during sexual violence or threat. You'll learn what happens in the nervous system during a freeze response, why people can't “just say no,” and how understanding this can help survivors release shame and start to heal. This is essential education for survivors, loved ones, and anyone who wants to understand trauma responses with compassion and science. If you've ever blamed yourself for how you reacted during sexual harassment or sexual assault, please know: it wasn't your fault. Your body was trying to keep you alive.

A growing body of research shows that lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and other sexuality and gender-diverse (LGBTQ+) people experience disproportionately high levels of sexual violence. However, there is limited understanding of the characteristics and contexts of those who use sexual violence against LGBTQ+ individuals. Crossing Lines from the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health, and Society (or ARCSHS) will investigate unwanted sexual behaviours against LGBTQ+ people, aiming to generate actionable knowledge to improve responses to such violence. It focuses on the social forces, risk factors, and characteristics of those who use sexual violence. ARCSHS will conduct interviews with victim-survivors, those who use violence, and service providers to develop resources that better support victim-survivors and enhance interventions for those who use violence. Learn more about Crossing Lines here, and if you have used violence in the past and are comfortable sharing your story, contact ARCSHS at 03 9479 8700 or arcshs@latrobe.edu.au Check out our other JOY Podcasts for more on LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing at joy.org.au/wellwellwell.

A March 2025 report by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry found that sexual violence by Israeli forces and settlers was extensive enough to be considered systematic.

Dr. Jabr is a world-renowned psychiatrist and writer who has spent more than twenty years practicing in the West Bank and Gaza. Her latest book is Radiance in Pain and Resilience.

Reem Alsalem, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, joins Heather Brunskell-Evans and Julian Vigo to discuss her mission as United Nations Special Rapporteur and the consequences, changing dimensions, and the greater challenges of her role. Responding to the criticism she has received for her views on gender ideology, on the one hand, and criticisms by feminists who view women in hijab as less deserving of human rights protections, Alsalem relates how occupation and colonialism impacts this demographic quite differently as she notes how both the degredation of women in hijab and women who “identify as men” are similarly rendered invisible through the very ideologies that pretend to speak for them. Alsalem tackles the divisive issue of the alleged rapes claimed by the Israeli government and legacy media on 7 October 2023 and the incoherence of Western feminism that parrots the debunked reports while simultaneously egging on a genocide. Analysing the report by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict (SRSG-SVC), Alsalem underscores how the mandate for this report was not investigative noting that a later investigation, undertaken by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry in June 2024, issued a report that clearly states that it “has not been able to independently verify such allegations, due to a lack of access to victims, witnesses and crime sites and the obstruction of its investigations by the Israeli authorities.” Alsalem details how the lie that Israel spun regarding the alleged rapes of Israeli women on 7 October has been completely debunked by an independent body, while noting that the widespread evidence documenting Israel's pattern of sexual violence towards Palestinian men and women has been completely ignored by Western media and governments.

Frances Cheffins is the project manager for the What Were You Wearing's (WWYW) national Move For Them Day on November 15. Move For Them Day participants will  run, walk or join in other activities to raise awareness and money for victim-survivors. While WWYW started as an art installation to challenge victim-blaming, it has grown into a not-for-profit organisation that provides survivor healing groups, education and advocacy. WWYW works to end sexual, domestic and family violence against women and counters victim-blaming. It called two national mobilisations in 2024 and one in May this year, which drew thousands to demand urgent action from governments.  Cheffins is based in Naarm/Melbourne and helped organise the previous national day of action, as well as the upcoming Move For Them Day.  We acknowledge that this podcast was produced on stolen Aboriginal land.

After a forty-eight-day ordeal, she was rescued, her brother wasn't. Surviving those weeks in the woods was only the beginning of her harrowing journey. In the following years she struggled to outrun her trauma, a pattern of self-destructive behavior shadowing her like an ever-worsening thunderstorm. But she still had hope buried deep inside, every bit as much as the little girl who had been held captive in the woods. This would be an all-new battle for Shasta. And she was determined not to lose.In this EXCLUSIVE Part 1 Episode, Shasta recounts in graphic and harrowing detail, the events leading up and including the murder of her family in front of her, and her abduction and the forty-eight day ordeal and her eventual escape!Shasta's experience has been turned into an amazing book by #1 New York Times Best Selling author Gregg Olsen who will feature along with Shasta in Part 2.  The book is: ‘OUT OF THE WOODS: A Girl, a Killer, and Lifelong Struggle to Find the Way Home'Gregg was able to get Shasta to open up and share her trauma.

What does it look like to connect everyday interactions to broader social dynamics? To use our knowledge of interpersonal communication to create the kinds of organizations, communities, and systems we want to make?...Today, Abbie and Kate talk about a relational approach to disorganizing systemic violence in organizations, exploring themes from Kate's new book Transforming Trauma to discuss different ways of knowing (and not knowing) in our bodies, minds, and relationships; flexibility and agility in organizations when responding to trauma; and recognizing discourses that create fearful or curious responses to uncertainty. ...Kate Lockwood Harris, PhD, is an internationally recognized communication scholar, writer, and consultant. Her award-winning research focuses on the relationship between violence and communication. In her most recent book, Transforming Trauma: A Relational Approach to Disorganizing Systemic Violence, Dr. Harris shows how trauma gets stuck in an organization's practices and policies—not just in its people. Moreover, she offers guidance for addressing this organized trauma. In addition to this work, Dr. Harris has published more than 30 peer-reviewed journal articles and chapters in edited collections, and she regularly speaks to audiences in the United States and across the globe. Most recently, Dr. Harris has been authoring the monthly public essay series, CommuniKate with Kate Lockwood Harris. Each essay shows how shifts in everyday interactions can create not only thriving relationships and organizations but also a more just world. Dr. Harris offers individual coaching for people who want to grow their personal and professional communication skills, and she consults with organizations to build climates where violence is rare and where people flourish.  Kate Lockwood Harris is Associate Professor of Communication Studies and a McKnight Presidential Fellow. She uses critical, feminist, and intersectional perspectives to answer the question, “How are violence and communication related?” Dr. Harris assumes that violence is a symptom of inequity, so she pays close attention to gender, race, and related systems of difference. Her research on organizational responses to sexual assault has been widely published in management, communication, cultural studies, and feminist outlets.Her first book, Beyond the Rapist: Title IX and Sexual Violence on US Campuses (Oxford University Press), was recognized with the 2020 Book Award from the European Group for Organizational Studies....Stories Lived.

An information and awareness campaign directed at victims and survivors of sexual violence has been launched (Monday, 29th September). According to Sexual Violence Study figures from the CSO, almost half of those who have suffered sexual violence didn't tell anyone else what had happened to them. The Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan and Cuan are encouraging survivors of sexual violence to feel empowered to speak out, and to seek support. Siobhán O'Leary, Managing Director of Rape Crisis Midwest spoke with Alan Morrissey on Tuesday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) Rape Crisis Midwest Facebook

Cuan, the Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence Agency, is launching a new campaign encouraging victims of sexual violence to speak out. It comes as new ESRI research has found that women are significantly more likely to experience all forms of sexual violence, both as children and adults, compared to men. Dr Stephanie O'Keeffe, chief executive of Cuan, joined Jonathan Healy on the show.

The National Network Ending Sexual Violence Together is raising the alarm over a current review of the sector it says will lead to funding cuts.

In Engendering Blackness: Slavery and the Ontology of Sexual Violence (Stanford UP, 2025) Patrice D. Douglass interrogates the relationship between sexual violence and modern racial slavery and finds it not only inseverable but also fundamental to the structural predicaments facing Blackness in the present. Douglass contends that the sexual violability of slaves is often misappropriated by frameworks on sexual violence that privilege its occurrences as a question of ethics, sexual agency, and feminine orders of gendering. Rather, this book foregrounds Blackness as engendered by sexual violence, which forcefully (re)produces Blackness, corporeally and conceptually, as a condition that lacks the capacity to ontologically distinguish its suffering from what it means to be human. By employing and critically revising Black feminist theory and Afro-pessimism, Douglass reveals that engaging primarily with the sexualization of the slave forces theories of sexual violence to interrogate why this violence—one of the most prevalent under slavery—continues to lack a grammar of fundamental redress. There are no reparations struggles for the generational transfer of sexual violation and the inability of present frameworks to rectify the sexual stains of slavery lies precisely in the fact that what made this history possible continues to haunt arrangements of life today. Engendering Blackness urgently articulates the way our present understandings of Blackness and humanness are bound by this vexed sexual history.

By employing and critically revising Black feminist theory and Afro-pessimism, Douglass reveals that engaging primarily with the sexualization of the slave forces theories of sexual violence to interrogate why this violence—one of the most prevalent under slavery—continues to lack a grammar of fundamental redress. There are no reparations struggles for the generational transfer of sexual violation and the inability of present frameworks to rectify the sexual stains of slavery lies precisely in the fact that what made this history possible continues to haunt arrangements of life today. Engendering Blackness urgently articulates the way our present understandings of Blackness and humanness are bound by this vexed sexual history.

Leora Tanenbaum, author of Sexy Selfie Nation, on how slut-shaming has evolved—and worsened—in the digital age. She unpacks how what was once a whispered insult has become a widespread, inescapable form of abuse—amplified by smartphones, social media, and AI-powered deepfakes. She talks about how “self-sexualizing” can feel like control—but isn't, the three systemic forces fueling non-consensual sexualization, and how parents can approach these tough conversations with empathy—not shame.  LINKS AND RESOURCES Support the podcast by making a donation (suggested amount $15) 732-763-2576 call to leave a voicemail.  info@authenticparenting.com Send audio messages using Speakpipe.

The medical charity, Medecins Sans Frontieres, has told the BBC that cases of sexual violence in Haiti have tripled in the last four years. One in five victims are under the age of eighteen. With gangs now controlling nearly all of the capital, Port au Prince, violence and insecurity are worsening. So far this year, more than four thousand people have been killed. A BBC team talking to survivors in the capital found women and children were the most affected by systematic rape, murder and arson.Also in the programme: an American university agrees to a settlement with the Trump administration; and the death of a global wrestling icon.(Photo: A damaged house stands after gangs torched homes in a residential area in Furcy, Haiti.

A new report details the sexual assault, mutilation and gang rapes perpetrated by the Hamas terror group against Israel during the October 7th attack. The report was authored by 'The Dinah Project', a global initiative to highlight sexual violence being used in conflict zones, and was led by led Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, a women's rights activist and law professor at Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv, Israel. The report wants other human rights groups to understand that Hamas weaponized sexual violence for further intimidation and they are demanding the United Nations call out the Palestinian terror group for it. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Doctor Qanta Ahmed, world renown physician based in New York and she is a journalist and a human and women's rights activist, who says it is difficult to find the words to describe the horrors that were used during the October 7th terror attack but we cannot shy away from the stories. *** Listeners be aware, this segment contains graphic descriptions of sexual violence and mutilation perpetrated during the October 7th Hamas terror attack on Israel.

#LONDONCALLING: THE UNEXAMINED SEXUAL VIOLENCE CRIME STARTING 2007 @JOSEPHSTERNBERG @WSJOPINION 1500 LONDON

The New Yorker recently published a report from Sudan, headlined “Escape from Khartoum.” The contributor Nicolas Niarchos journeyed for days through a conflict to reach a refugee camp in the Nuba Mountains, where members of the country's minority Black ethnic groups are seeking safety, but remain imperilled by hunger. The territory is “very significant to the Nuba people,” Niarchos explains to David Remnick. “They feel safe being there because they have managed to resist genocide before by hiding in these mountains. And then you start seeing the children with their distended bellies, and you start hearing the stories of the people who fled.” The civil war pits the Sudanese Army against a militia group called the Rapid Support Forces. Once allies in ousting Sudan's former President, the Army and the R.S.F. now occupy different parts of the country, destroying infrastructure in the opposing group's territory, and committing atrocities against civilians: killing, starvation, and widespread, systematic sexual violence. The warring parties are dominated by Sudan's Arabic-speaking majority, and “there's this very, very toxic combination of both supremacist ideology,” Niarchos says, and “giving ‘spoils' to troops instead of paying them.” One of Niarchos's sources, a man named Wanis, recalls an R.S.F. soldier telling him, “If you go to the Nuba Mountains, we'll reach you there. You Nuba, we're supposed to kill you like dogs.”
