Sexual assault, stigma, health, and society

Content warning: discussions of sexual assault, violence, and rape How does society handle sexual assault? What are the health implications for victims and for populations? Did the Pelicot case change attitudes and what can we do to address stigma?  Gavin is joined by Professor Betsy Stanko OBE and Professor Katrin Hohl OBE, who together worked on the London Metropolitan Police"s Operation Soteria to change how the police deal with sexual assault cases.  In this episode, we explore the global burden of sexual violence, its profound impact on women"s health, the systemic challenges in addressing the hidden dimensions of sexual violence, the difficulties in measuring its prevalence, and the critical need for a trauma-informed and holistic approach in both healthcare and criminal justice systems.
