Topic 3: Victims silence

Victims of rape and domestic abuse stay silent (Broadly, 2015). Sexual harassment victims suffer in silence (Wendy, L,Patrick, 2017). The reason behind the silence can be:

-damage to their reputation

-conflicting emotions about a man many of them viewed as a friend and mentor

- guilt and shame

- victims are less likely to report sexual assault when they have a close relationship, either personal or professional
