Resources for Sexual Assault Survivors

Send us Fan MailIn this week’s show our guest is Leticia Manzano from the Houston Area Women’s Center (HAWC). Ms. Manzano is the Sexual Assault Services Coordinator at HAWC. During this episode we discuss current affairs, such as the accusations against Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump, the definitions of rape and sexual assault, and how the media can serve as a resource for survivors.
