Emily Campbell-Ross bravely shares her story of being raped by a man named Thomas Earle, he was found guilty and avoided jail time. This is her story.Collectively as a community when the news of this sentence was brought into mainstream media, the women of Australia were absolutely outraged to see that yet again, people who convict sexual crimes were not being held accountable for them and getting off on them in the face of good character references and 'supportive family'.Em and Madeleine go into detail in part 2 of the trial, Em's life following the assault and where she is today. We also incorporate as much laughter as possible - because if we don't laugh - we'll cry.

Jordyn Gray, a former Airforce Officer who was sexually assaulted on base by a colleague, shares her story with Madeleine. This goes into life on base, the assault and subsequent processes that ensued as a response. This is Part 5 (the final part) of a multi part series with Jordyn, and she goes into so much detail about her experience which is so invaluable, as stories from members of the Australian Defence Force rarely are able to or do share their experiences of being victimised.

Matt joins Madi to discuss the sexual abuse he endured as a child at the hands of a Scout leader, the subsequent years of coping, healing and moving through to court system. As well as how we can support Matt v Scouts in his fight for justice now.Despite Matt’s abuser pleading guilty to charges of child sexual abuse, Matt is now facing bankruptcy for trying to hold Scouts NSW to account. Matt needs your help to continue his legal battle with Scouts NSW.Matt needs your support so other survivors can seek justice too.A win for Matt would set an important precedent that survivors could rely upon when seeking compensation from the organisations that failed to protect them from child sexual abuse. The costs order would be overturned, and all donated funds will be paid to other charities and organisations which support victims of sexual abuse.This was a truly amazing conversation, one that was so insightful and that will go so many a feeling of comfort to listen to, as so man will hear themselves in this.Support Matt Via the below links:Learn more about Matt's fight via this website link - https://www.mattvscouts.com.au/Donate to support the campaign via this link - https://chuffed.org/project/mattvscoutsConnect with Matt via Instagram https://www.instagram.com/matt1barker/To Connect with Reclaim MeVISIT OUR BRAND NEW WEBSITE HERETo Connect with Madeleine ALL THE LINKS ARE HEREFor advice and support in Australia please reach out to: LifelineFor crisis support please reach out to LifelinePhone: 13 11 14Website: www.lifeline.org.au/ 1800 RESPECTFor sexual assault and domestic abuse support services please reach out to 1800 RESPECTPhone: 1800 RESPECT - 1800 737 732Website: www.1800respect.org.auFor additional help and support / suggested resources for the UK, Canada, USA & New Zealand please see the 'Crisis Links' page on our websiteHERE Sign up for Bonus Content each week on Patreon!

This is a really engaging discussion on all things system and advocacy related. We both get incredibly heated as we talk about ways we can see change happening, what we believe may be options to proceed and how justice is not all the common for so many.
