Ep 6- Sexual violence starts at school, with Ava Vakil
<p>Today's episode is cohosted by the fabulous Millie McMillan aka OxFemSoc events organiser (RIP events). Millie and Kate chat to Ava Vakil, Oxford student, feminist and sexual violence activist. Ava has been collecting testimonies from victims of sexual harassment and violence in schools to write an open letter outlining the rape-culture present at the Kings School, Wimbledon (and many others). Ava describes the impact this has had on young girls and women who attend/have attended the school or been attacked by male students attending Kings. More broadly, we discuss the inspiration behind the letter, the response from the school and both the local and national actions and legislation that are required to make meaningful changes to the safety of our young girls. </p> <p>There is a trigger warning for this episode, where we discuss rape and rape culture extensively. Please listen to one of our other empowering episodes if you don't feel you can listen to this one right now. </p> <p>Topics covered today include:</p> <p>- institutional sexual harassment and violence from school to university</p> <p>- the intersection between privilege and a lack of accountability when it comes to rape culture</p> <p>- the importance of inclusive and sensitive sex & relationships education to try and nip these issues in the bud.</p> <p><u>Find us</u>: <strong>We’re on Instagram!
