Content: Please be aware that this episode contains graphic content around sexual violence, sex, misogyny and pornography, that some people may find upsetting. Jocelyn Anderson is CEO of West Mercia Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre, and the NCPS Ambassador for survivors of rape and sexual violence. Moving from an unfulfilling job in finance to a career in counselling, Jocelyn has become a fierce advocate for victim/survivors, as well as for smaller community-based services that offer them vital support. In our conversation together, we explore the many barriers that are faced by those who work in this area, and those they support. From stigma and ignorance, to lengthy fights for justice and funding, Jocelyn doesn’t hold back from describing the reality of the situation - because speaking truth openly, can contribute to action, change, and the reduction of shame.
