Sexual assault encompasses a wide range of violent or degrading acts, and it’s not just the
boogeyman in the alley that is the perpetrator. It can be someone you know, it can be someone you’re dating and, because of misinformation and coercion, there are often blurred lines. Today’s guest is Daunielle Munir, who works with the Center for Family Services in New Jersey, where she is the Program Coordinator of the sexual assault program, SERV, which stands for Services Empowering the Rights of Victims. In this episode, she explains the elements of control in violent acts, reiterates the importance of consent, and why victims sometimes can’t verbalize the word no. She also offers her support to victims, stating that sexual assault is never the victim’s fault, and encourages us to teach our children to trust their feelings to know when they are uncomfortable. Most importantly, she urges us to break the stigma, have the difficult conversations, and believe victims, so please tune in for some necessary education on the dynamics of sexual assault. It may be helpful for you or for someone you know.
