S2 Ep22 - It's Not Your Fault

CW: Mention of rape and SA

Bonus content: A powerful monologue, written by Clare Smith, and performed by a collective of ordinary women - a declaration that we are done carrying blame that was never ours. Together, we rise to rewrite the narrative and end the way men’s behavior dictates how we live.



In this powerful episode of QuinnCast, we dive deep into the uncomfortable but necessary conversation surrounding sexual harassment and the societal norms that perpetuate it. Join us as we share staggering statistics that reveal the harsh realities women face daily - like how 71% of women in the UK have experienced sexual harassment in public. 

We reflect on our own experiences and the insidious ways women are conditioned to accept this behavior as "normal." From discussing a chilling encounter with a young woman seeking safety from a stalker to recounting personal stories of harassment, we lay bare the emotional toll these experiences take. 

Together, we challenge the narrative that puts the onus on women to modify their behavior to avoid unwanted attention, emphasizing that it is not the victims who are at fault. We call for a collective shift in responsibility, urging men to step up, speak out, and hold each other accountable. 

This episode is not just a call to action but a reminder that women deserve to exist freely and without fear in public spaces. Tune in for a candid discussion that is both enlightening and empowering, and remember: It’s not your fault.

Join us as we work towards a future where every woman can walk through the world unapologetically, without fear or harassment.
