In this episode survivor Hannah details her experience with sexual assault, domestic abuse and a very violent sexual assault by a stranger. We discuss three key events that occurred during Hannahs life that she has had to endure. Sadly Han has had to endure very severe accusations and subsequent expulsion due to disclosing her last assault to a college coordinator.

This episode highlights how important believing survivors is, it shows that we only see the tip of the iceberg when it comes to offending and it shows that Hannah - although she has been through hell - has worked her ass off to get where she is to dedicate her time to advocacy for survivors.

Thank you Hannah - Warrior woman.
