Fighting Institutional Betrayal

It’s what victims of sexual violence call being re-victimized by the system they trusted. Experts call it institutional betrayal. Either way, it’s like being assaulted all over again and it can have profound, even fatal, consequences. Read about an unfolding case on the role of corporate governance in institutional betrayal.

Fighting to Heal: My Story

Last year, I turned to my former employer to seek long-denied healing for a sexual assault where my boss bullied me into staying silent. This time it was worse. I was not believed.  I was not supported. I was made to feel like the offender. Then this prominent government agency that regulates the conduct of others tried to muzzle me, Harvey Weinstein-style, from talking about it. 

Fighting for Better Health for Victims

Experts warn that victims of sexual violence and sexual harassment are at alarmingly higher risk for a host of medical conditions that can adversely affect their health for years, decades and even lifetimes.  It’s one more reason why sexual violence and the institutional betrayal that often follows need much more attention from all areas of society, starting with those who have the most potential to provide healing — or inflict harm — on victims: lawyers, judges, healthcare professionals and the media.
