CBC's Wendy Mesler had three women from Quebec on last evening. The issue was personal experience with sexual assault
All were mature. None were tearful or emotional. Nor was retribution their motive.Just a hope for improvement.
Ms Mesley asked .....why now?
The 25th anniversary of the Marc Lepine massacre of female students in an engineering course at Ecole Polytechnique was the answer.
The more the issue is discussed the less clear the outcome .
It seems children and young adults in common are at risk in their own homes from family members and friends.
The problem appears to be endemic.
How can society protect them from harm in their own homes?
What are we missing here?
Wendy Mesley asked tough questions.
I'm just not sure women alone can provide answers.

Sadly, it is nothing new. What is remarkable is that it is being discussed.
I did not see the interview but let me guess that the ones who did the assaulting reported by those 3 women are all safely gone. We had a monster in our family and no one spoke about it until long after the funeral. And not much then.
You're right Evelyn. Women alone can't provide the answers.
What is remarkable is that it is being dismissed.
