Blank Noise

Listen is a podcast series by the #INeverAskForIt Mission. Each episode has been recorded in group settings across sites and geographies, in the form of 'listening circles'. It brings together survivors of sexual violence, you and me, across varying degrees and identities to speak, be heard and believed. The podcast is an invitation to process internalised victim blame and shame. Listen to Listen, to build connection and solidarity. Listen to Listen , to own the words #INeverAskForIt
