The Wire with Caeden

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.
