We Believe All Survivors
Kelsey and guest + fellow survivor Jesse discuss how and why survivor belief and understanding is pivotal not only to recovery but also ending rape culture in our world today.
Topics/Triggers:
The baseline for believing survivors
How idolized figures often get free passes when it comes to rape culture
The unspoken limits put on women in a male-dominated society
Simple tools to make sexual assault and rape survivors feel more comfortable
How sometimes survivors themselves have trouble believing their own story and are victims of their own “victim-blaming” or gas-lighting
