*Trigger warning* This episode contains discussion of sexual assault and rape.

In this episode, we highlight Shiori Ito and her case with rape. We tried our best to articulate what we read that happened as well as some thoughts and feelings on it, but this was a hard one. This might not be the most concise nor articulate episode but we hope some of you at least find this to be insightful. Below are some articles, videos and other links mentioned in the episode. We highly recommend you to check them out if you want to know more about the case. Our apologies for being a bit rambly in this one!
