🔍 In This Episode:

In today's episode, we discuss the often-overlooked issue of female-perpetrated sexual violence against males, shedding light on the complexities and societal biases that contribute to its underreporting and lack of awareness. This video challenges prevailing stereotypes and calls for a more inclusive understanding of sexual violence that recognizes all victims and perpetrators, regardless of gender.

💡 Why It Matters:

This topic is crucial because it addresses a significant gap in our understanding of sexual violence. Acknowledging and understanding this problem is the first step towards creating a more inclusive and effective response to all survivors of sexual violence. Moreover, it challenges gender stereotypes that harm both men and women, promotes a more nuanced view of the issue, and underscores the need for comprehensive support systems that cater to all victims. By bringing attention to this topic, we can foster a more empathetic society that values the dignity and worth of every individual, regardless of gender.

UPDATE: Some have asked for clarity on a statistic that I provided. The statistic in question is from a report published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) in January 2010, with the NCJ number 228416. This special report, titled "Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008-09," provides detailed findings from a national survey on the sexual victimization of youth in juvenile facilities. One of the significant findings from this report is that approximately 95% of all youth reporting staff sexual misconduct said they had been victimized by female staff. This statistic is crucial for understanding the dynamics of sexual victimization within juvenile facilities and has implications for policies, staff training, and preventive measures to safeguard the welfare of incarcerated youth.
