On The Record: Media Portrayals of Sexual Violence

Argentina, Burma (Myanmar), Australia, Ireland
Does the media perpetuate rape culture by writing stories that victim-blame, sympathize with perpetrators, or question victim credibility? Whether through religious conflict, Indigenous disenfranchisment, historical concealment, or inequitable cultural attitudes towards gender, I want to understand what shapes the framing of sexual violence stories and the impacts on survivor communities.
