We Don't Talk About That Podcast
End Eye Check: Amanda Stanhope & Jenn Wilenta on Sexual Violence, Survivor Advocacy and Fighting Back
In the first episode of We Don't Talk About That, hosts Linda Coogan Byrne and Ndidi O are joined by Amanda Stanhope and Jennifer Wilenta, two survivor advocates whose experiences have helped drive the EndEyeCheck campaign.
Together they discuss drug-facilitated rape, image-based abuse, the failures of policing and justice systems, and the devastating impact these crimes have on survivors. They also explore the power of collective action, survivor-led advocacy, and why challenging the culture of silence around violence against women matters now more than ever.
This is a conversation about survival, accountability, justice and the women refusing to look away.
Content warning: This episode contains discussions of rape, sexual violence, coercive control, image-based abuse and trauma.
