**Trigger warning. This episode is about sexual assault and rape.** At 15, Emily was raped by the Homecoming King and at 16, sexually assaulted by a police officer. She swore she wouldn't tell anyone. 1 in 3 women has been sexually assaulted by the time they are 18, yet the majority go unreported. The rape culture that continues to exist needs to change. As a society, why aren't we teaching our impressionable young men about sex, respect, and boundaries?  How can we educate our hormone-raging teenage boys to respect women and spark change? “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.- Frederick Douglass______To Connect with Emily: Instagram (@yesgirlemilysjames)______TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE INCLUDE rape, sexaul assault, drinking, police misonduct, date rape, boundaries and patriarchy ______If you or someone you know is a victim of sexual violence, please call the RAINN sexual violence hotline at 1-800-656-4673Men Can Stop Rape Organization — Mission: To mobilize men to use their strength for creating cultures free from violence, especially men's violence against women. https://mcsr.orgIf you or anyone you know is struggling with an addiction, depression, trauma or sexual abuse, we've compiled a list of resources at https://secretlifepodcast.com.______HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE SHOW?Tell Your Friends & Share Online!Subscribe, Rate & Review: Apple PodcastsFollow & Listen  Spotify |  Stitcher | Google PodcastsSpread the word via social mediaInstagramTwitterFacebook#SecretLifePodcastDonateYou can also support the show with a one-time or monthly donation via PayPal (make payment to secretlifepodcast@icloud.com) or at our WEBSITE.Connect with Brianne Davis-Gantt (@thebriannedavis)InstagramFacebookTwitterWebsite
