S1 E3 Gemma Malfesi Part 1

Key points from the episode:

•  The shocking reason why most female offenders are where they are at.
• A confusion and desensitisation of sexual violence and what it actually is.
• The difference between long term groomers and opportunists.
• The lack of understanding and education
• How the system as it stands sends out mixed messages and can re-traumatise the survivor.
• Why juries and many others in the system have unconscious bias and lack of knowledge.
• The disadvantages of the current “adversarial”  model
