S1 E2 Charlotte Clayton Part 2

Key points from the interview:

• How the experience of sexual violence leads to crippling shame.
• How, within certain comminities, there is a further risk or ostracization and shunning from the community (or at least the fear of it)
• How much more they want to do within the crisis centre.
• How the topic is just too uncomfortable for some people.
• How we as a society HAVE to wake up to this epidemic.
• Why some people minimise what happened as it is "not as bad" as what has happened to some people.
• How some survivors wait at least 2 years before their case comes to court.
• How anyone can be a victim of this at any time
