This is why we do what we do at @EROCAustralia. Too many men who will go on to positions of incredible power learn that they can get away with sexual assault & sexual harassment while they& #39;re at university #4corners
It takes a village to protect an abuser & those villages have stretched - & continue to stretch - from university campuses all the way to parliament house #4corners
This is also why we can& #39;t get the current government to take any action at all on sexual assault & sexual harassment in university communities. The village must protect the village #4corners
It follows a consistent pattern. A survivor reports to a uni. The uni refuses to take action. The perpetrator is emboldened, reoffends & repeats their behaviour once they graduate & enter the workforce. The uni teaches them that they can get away with it #4corners
And the current government has sent a clear message to the unis that they can continue to allow to teach those abusers that they can get away with it. And now everyone knows why #4corners
Also, throwback to the time Porter called me "grossly irresponsible" after we stopped referring survivors to 1800Respect because of harmful changes he made to the service. So yeah. Fuck you, Christian #4corners https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/a-little-respect-the-debate-over-the-national-rape-hotline-20170621-gwvvzi.html">https://www.smh.com.au/politics/...
Remember, folks. It takes a village to protect an abuser & that village is often comprised of other abusers. What you hear about will only ever be the tip of the iceberg #4corners
