This piece contains themes of sexual assault and rape.
It’s Rape Awareness Week this week, and we’re talking to Thursdays in Black once again to chat about the updates regarding the Uni’s cases of sexual assault and whether the Uni has done enough to reduce campus rape culture. Emilia Sullivan was joined by Liv Whyte in the studio, who is the national coordinator for Thursdays in Black country-wide.
Thursdays in Black is encouraging everyone to wear black on Thursdays in solidarity with survivors and as a symbolic objection to rape culture. Remember you can go to Thursdays in Black’s ‘Korero and Kai’ event tonight (Thursday) in Kate Edgar Workshop 101 at 5:30pm here at the University of Auckland, or you can watch online if you’re unable to make it.
Sam speaks with Andrea Black, an economist and policy advisor from the council of trade unions about why working New Zealanders are due a pay increase, how this may help lift children out of poverty and what the impacts of continued wage stagnation may be.
This week's cocktail corner is brought to you by Black Sands Brewing, and indeed it's a dangerous day to be a cold one! Craig and Harry join HALFQUEEN in the studio to make a spicy mango twist (and smash) on a Black Sands brew.
