Megan, a courageous survivor, recounts her traumatic experience of being assaulted by someone she once trusted on her college campus. She bravely shares the harsh reality of her assault and the challenges she faced in seeking justice and how that experience drives her to help others.

Despite its widespread occurrence, acquaintance rape often remains concealed, buried under layers of shame, fear, and societal stigma. We call our guest Megan.

Like Megan, many victims grapple with self-doubt and internalized guilt, making it difficult to come forward and identify themselves as survivors. The failure of the legal system to recognize these cases as genuine rape only perpetuates the cycle of injustice, leaving perpetrators unpunished and silencing victims.

Statistics paint a stark picture: one in four women in the United States will experience rape or attempted rape by their mid-twenties, with a significant portion of assaults occurring between acquaintances. College campuses, in particular, serve as breeding grounds for sexual violence, with young women aged 18-24 facing elevated risks.

Despite the prevalence of such crimes, numerous survivors hesitate to report their experiences, fearing disbelief, retaliation, or further trauma. The repercussions of harassment and assault extend beyond physical harm, causing deep psychological wounds that impede survivors' academic and emotional well-being.

There has been some progress in raising awareness and empowering survivors to come forward. However, systemic barriers persist, with educational institutions often failing to adequately address incidents of sexual harassment and violence.
