Brenda Agnew, your host, is joined by Diana Harris and Simona Jellinek who have been working with Supporting Survivors,
where they have been focusing on advocating for victims of sexual
abuse and assault among other issues. They usually receive the
first inquiries through a phone call, where they hear devastating
stories (experiences that are often voiced for the first time),
they have the privilege of becoming these survivors'
companions, listening to their stories, assisting them legally and
also helping them navigate the system for them to find as many
supporting resources as possible.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
