TW: Sexualized violence In August, two survivors TW: Sexualized violence In August, two survivors — Sophie Brindle and Jenna North — shared sexual assault allegations against Peter Mirmotahari on Instagram. They received an overwhelming amount of support, and other survivors started following suit. But soon after, some posts were removed and an anonymous page dedicated to sharing their stories, Call Out Victoria, was abruptly deleted. Although the #MeToo movement and other survivors empowered these individuals with the courage to come forward, it didn’t give them a rulebook for reporting a sexual assault on social media. Our latest feature follows the journeys of three local survivors in trying to get justice, heal, and find solidarity.  Linked in our bio.
