Q Expat Panel: How international media covers sexual violence
The dialogue around sexual violence has been opening up in the last six months, especially on university campuses. Just this week, student activists crashed Columbia University's admissions office, protesting the way the school has handled complaints about sexual violence.
Back in Canada, the University of Ottawa has agreed to fund new courses on rape culture — a move that follows a massive sexual assault scandal involving its men's hockey team.
Today on the show, we're trying something new. In order to gauge how the conversation about sexual violence is playing out internationally, we're convening our very first Q Expat Panel.
Three culturally savvy Canadians living abroad share perspectives from their parts of the world. Joining guest host Sean Rameswaram we have:
- Megan Williams, an author and journalist in Rome
- Richard Emblin, editor of Colombia's first English newspaper, The City Paper, in Bogota.
- May Jeong, a writer based in Kabul.
