Deep Dive Podcast - The dangers of victim-blaming in sexual assault cases
Warning: This episode contains references to sexual violence. The former vice president of the Law Society Chia Boon Teck resigned after he was heavily criticised for his comments about a rape victim. Steven Chia and Otelli Edwards speak to Mark Yeo, director at Fortress Law Corporation and Sugidha Nithiananthan, director of advocacy and research at AWARE, about the dangers of victim-blaming. The key question in every sexual assault case comes down to whether there was clear consent and everyone needs to be educated on how important it is, say our guests on this episode.
