In the third and final episode of Less than 2%, we hear about the impact of trauma on the lives of survivors. We consider the role of the gender-based violence sector, which often provides services for survivors who’ve given up on other systems. But we also deep-dive and investigate the challenges faced by this sector, including a lack of funding and a lack of inclusivity. We conclude with a sense of hope springing from the power of survivors.

In the second episode of Less than 2%, we see what happens when survivors go to the courts, if their case even gets there in the first place. We also dissect the idea of the ‘perfect’ or ‘ideal’ victim and explore what characteristics or circumstances make survivors worthy of a shot at justice. Finally, we consider the prison system, where some survivors end up behind bars. We ask ourselves: is a world without police and prisons possible?

In the first episode of Less than 2%, we look at where survivors go when they experience sexual violence, their decision to report the incident to the police, and the way the police investigate the claim. We also examine how universities tackle student reports of sexual misconduct. And we turn the lens onto the investigator, asking why the police and universities aren’t dealing with the problem of rape culture.  For resources that can help you identify abuse, collect evidence, stay safe and get well, check us out at chayn.co, ysmysm.co, and bloom.chayn.co

What does trauma look like? And why do the universities, the police, the courts, the prisons, and sometimes even the charity sector, fail to understand it? At every step of the way, we find that the system locks survivors of sexual assault out of the services and support they need to deal with their trauma.
