{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Sexual Assault, Rape Culture & the Cost of Staying Silent","description":"Season 2 is officially here… and we're starting with a conversation we cannot afford to stay quiet about. 🦄\n\nIn the Season 2 premiere of Unicorns Do Exist, Vanessa talks about the Cornell University sexual assault case, rape culture, consent, and the devastating consequences of silence.\n\nBut this isn't just about what happened at Cornell.\n\nIt's personal.\n\nVanessa opens up about surviving her own sexual assault, reporting it, having a rape kit done, and years later being forced to relive the trauma—only to experience another kind of betrayal when the system failed to pursue justice.\n\nThis episode asks the uncomfortable question:\n\nWhat happens when you see something wrong and choose to do nothing?\n\nBecause silence isn't neutral.\n\nAnd being a good person isn't just about what you would never do—it's about what you allow others to do.\n\nThis is an episode about sexual assault, survivor advocacy, accountability, consent, trauma, healing, and speaking up when it would be easier to stay quiet.\n\nAnd this season, we're going deeper.\n\nBecause unicorns do exist. But you have to be brave enough to create that magic. 🦄\n\n⚠️ Content warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, rape, trauma, PTSD, and survivor experiences.\n\nFollow the podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unicornsdoexistpod (https://www.instagram.com/unicornsdoexistpod?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr)\n#UnicornsDoExist #SexualAssaultAwareness #RapeCulture #Consent #SurvivorStories #WomenEmpowerment #Podcast","author_name":"Unicorns Do Exist","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5162130-unicorns-do-exist","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43875657/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
