Campus Sexual Misconduct


Listen Later

We've heard of the spree of sexual misconduct and harassment cases in the news and the question must be asked, what does this say about who we are as a Singaporean society, and why are we having such a difficult time talking about this topic? Elliot and Rovik try their best, within their constraints, to have a conversation around the cases that have occurred, the broader statistics around sexual harassment and misconduct on campuses, and why it is important for us to look at policy, legislation, community, and culture in addressing the harm that is happening to our young people. If you have a view or response to what we have shared, please do reach out or comment on our socials as this is our effort to contribute to the much-needed conversation.
