25. WHY DO WE ONLY LISTEN TO GRACE TAME & BRITTANY HIGGINS? ft. Dhanya Mani
Manage episode 322680959 series 2901671
This week is a heavy one so I'm starting it with a content warning!
CW: sexual assault, rape, sexual harassment + violence - all of which are described in graphic detail.
During her time in law and politics in the 2010s, Indian-Australian Dhanya alleged two separate instances of sexual assault at the hands of senior members of her workplace. We sit down today for a raw conversation; discussing the incident itself, why there was an added layer of complexity in reporting the crime as a woman of colour, and why voices like hers and ours are silenced against those of Grace and Brittany. What needs to change?
