SJU Senior Discusses Sexual Assault

An SJU senior discusses how sexual assault opened her eyes more to how common the issue was, especially for women. She explains how the way she coped after her attack made her feel distanced from other victims. Finally, she explains how the lack of severity of her attack in comparison to other survivors made her feel guilty.
