Victim shaming has become increasingly topical around the world. This underscores its importance to societal well-being and justice. Accordingly, I decided to dedicate today's episode of Defying the Odds to victim shaming as a phenomenon and its relationship with the Just world bias. I sincerely hope this agitates our minds enough to warrant a change in our attitudes towards victims of brutality, rape, abuse and other forms of misfortune. Thanks for listening.
