A Mental Health Perspective: The Problem With Labeling Stanford University Student's Rape '20 Minutes Of Action' (Forbes.com)

Christine Cissy White 6/8/1611:29 AM

Excerpt from a great article by Tori Utley:

"To end rape culture, offenders must be held accountable. To ensure this happens, society needs to put a serious and diligent foot forward about the consequences that follow sexually assaulting a victim. No one should be immune or above the law for the psychological damage and hurtful trauma that victims experience as a result of the crime of sexual assault – it is a violation of a human right, a destroyer of dignity and an offense that can take years to heal, restore, and recover."
