Rape Culture: Violence and Canada Experience

rape culture: Survivors often aren't believed and supported, women are shamed and blamed, and rape culture feels like it grows stronger by the day, according to NOW Magazine.

Now imagine you're a refugee or immigrant woman, living in a new country not fluent in English. For newcomer survivors of sexual violence, the outlook is that much worse. You don't know where and who to ask for help. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
