In light of recent events that have transpired on social media regarding sexual assault in our community, we sit down to discuss the ramifications of shame culture in the Somali community and create an open dialogue on a topic that's so heavily brushed under the rug. Above all else, we want to say we proudly believe, support, and stand with survivors.
