In the aftermath of conflict, there exists a silent suffering that often goes unheard and unseen—conflict-related sexual violence. Throughout history, conflict zones have been breeding grounds for atrocities beyond comprehension, with sexual violence being one of the most pervasive and least discussed. In this latest episode of the JCSW show I discussed with Dr. Sharon Dekel, an assistant professor at Mass General Hospital, the topic of conflict-related sexual violence as related to the sexual violence that was committed during the Hamas-led October 7 attacks on Israel. 

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses sexual violence, PTSD, and a brief mention of suicide. If this is not for you I would skip this episode. Listener discretion advised.
