Sticky Q's

Why do some people excuse sexual assault when their friend did it to someone?

Sticky Q's Season 3 Episode 6

As the impact of sexual harm becomes more well known, young people are seeking answers about who to believe – a sticky question to answer if we as adults don’t understand what’s going on. In this episode, we unpack our tendency to ignore bad news and do some self-reflection on how complicated things can get when you know someone involved in a harmful experience.
In this episode we reference harmful sexual behaviours in young people, for more information see season 2, episode 2 (Is it still sexual assault if both people were kids?) and harmful influencers, for more information see season 2 episode 8 (What do you think about Andrew Tate?).
