**TRIGGER WARNING **ADULT CONTENT**

This podcast discusses sexual assault and may be triggering to victim survivors. If you need help or someone to talk to, you can call 1800 RESPECT or visit respect.gov.au.

The #metoo campaign has brought up a lot of questions recently, like: What would make someone want to cross an emotional or physical boundary with someone else? And why can it take victim survivors so long to report?

On the podcast we’re discussing the psychology behind sexual assault. We’ll look at power and why some people abuse that power, what part – if any – porn plays in sexual assault, and what we can do to stop people from sexually assaulting.

It’s a lot to cover, the topics are very complex, and we don’t get to all the answers. Having said that, we think it’s important to look at these topics to break down the stigma around sexual assault so it’s easier for people to report, so that perpetrators realise that sexual assault is always wrong, and so we remind ourselves that consent and communication is key.
