Hi everyone.

Welcome to another episode of the Girls Talk podcast.

Trigger warning, the episode covers difficult topics,

which some listeners may find upsetting. These areas include rape, sexual assault and various types of

abuse. Please practice good self-care and listen at your own discretion. If you need additional

Today, I'd like to welcome Sommer, Sarah, who has dominated headlines for the last few weeks in an effort to eradicate rape culture.

Sommer's experience of rape culture began in her early teenage years.

Conversations with friends

throughout her time at school and university began to reveal to her just how widespread the

issue is for young people. While finishing her English degree at UCL, she began sharing her

experiences of rape culture on Instagram. In light of the overwhelming response from

those that resonated with her story, Sommer founded Everyone's Invited in June of last year.

Everyone's invited as a space created for survivors to share their stories. Over 16,205

anonymous testimonies have been submitted and shared on everyone's invited,

sparking a conversation about rape culture with millions of people.

Today we'll be continuing this conversation.
