As a serial advocate and volunteer for victims and survivors of abuse, I oftentimes come across special needs for them. In Part 2, I express some of the populations, the concerns we have for them, and what some of the needs are from supporters.
The populations discussed in today's episode are: Mentally Ill or Disabled Victims, Self-Harming Victims, Secondary Victims, and Myths vs Realities revolving stereotypical beliefs society generally have about sexual violence against marginalized segments of individuals.
