Почему хорошо, что женщины стали открыто говорить о сексуальном насилии/нападениях в своем прошлом

[enot]

Women speaking openly of sexual assault they experienced earlier in their lives lead to some good outcomes, and here is one: some of these women lead a normal life after this event (or series of events, or even years of abuse), they have families, regular or even spectacular careers - they turned out to be resilient to this trauma. You can't blame a person for not being resilient. Circumstances of assault can be different as well (the devil is in the details).
I talk to my kids about difficult facts of life - suicide, sexual assault, chronic illness - and now I feel more empowered to talk about resilience.
