Surviving Justice: Realities of Reporting RapeFollow Up: Aarefah and Sayedah 2Let's do a rape trial without using or defining the word "rape"! Sounds fair, right? Aarefah and her sister, Sayedah, are back for episode 2 of Aarefah's reporting and legal system experience. Clearly, it was amazing! Nothing sets up a fair and unbiased trial like a "neutral" detective testifying against you, no use of the word "rape" even though that was the offense, and being threatened with jail by using the words "Me Too"... and 3 separate tries. Love that "justice" system.

Their stories exemplify how survivors are failed every step of the way while reporting to Title IX, police, and civil courts. While this all-too-familiar story is maddening and infuriating at every step, the sisters' persistence and courage while crossing every imaginable hurdle is wholly inspiring.Support the show2021-03-1134 min
