Trigger warning! This episode makes reference to rape and sexual assault.
In this episode, Emma chats to Soma Sara, the multi-award-winning activist, author, speaker and CEO of the charity Everyone's Invited.
Everyone's Invited began in 2020 when Soma started to share her experiences of rape culture on Instagram. The space was opened up for everyone to contribute and the response was overwhelming.
In this conversation, Emma and Soma discuss their different perspectives on the subject, which vary wildly given that there is a twenty-year age gap between the two (Soma is 24 and Emma is 44 at the time of recording). They discuss how rape culture has become so prevalent, the impact easily accessible porn has had on impressionable children, how behaviour in the playground has become sexualised and what parents can do to help.
Emma certainly felt as though her eyes were opened and understood Soma's urgency in needing to make changes so the situation doesn't get any worse.
Soma's book Everyone's Invited is available now.
