Indian author, sexual assault survivor and former rape crisis centre worker Sohaila Abdulali, who will be speaking in Australia this week, is certain that the increase in conversations about sexual assault is a positive thing.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics released data last year showing the number of people reporting sexual assault had reached an eight-year high.
Abdulali added that it is not the survivor’s job to end rape by speaking out after an assault, but when they do speak out, language is important.
