#wiseTalk: Believing Victims of Assault

“We need to reflect on our resolve when we say we believe women. What we have learned from the discussions we’ve had [non-belief] is why most women don’t report.” - Onica

Hosted by Brenda Madumise and Onica Nonhlanhla Makwakwa, Wise Talk is a live social commentary broadcast about issues affecting the development of women. In this episode, the hosts discuss whether or not people truly mean it when they say “We believe women.” They spend a brief amount of time giving examples of how rape apologists sound when defending people whom they believe are “incapable” of committing rape.
