In this episode, we explore a reality far too many women know firsthand: the heartbreak of nonconsensual sexual contact and the pain of walking alongside others who have experienced it. For many of us, these experiences—and the repeated failures to respond with care and accountability—have moved us toward activism. While sexual violence affects people of all genders, we examine the patterns in our culture that leave so many women facing this harm.
