008: The Taboo around Sexual Assault in African Communities| Stacey Foxx

In this episode Stacey shares her story as a survival of sexual assault at a young age. Stacey bravely posted her story on facebook and in doing so she named her aggressor thus breaking the code of silence that many victims feel they need to uphold in order to avoid scandal in the Ghanaian community. Her story is not unique unfortunately, but it's still a taboo in many African Communities. We hope that by speaking up, her story will inspire more people to come forward and break a culture of silence that only protects the perpetrator and never the victim. At her request we have agreed to censor some of the names of the people involved in the story. #metoo
