A Podcast on Sexual Assault - Introduction

A Podcast on Sexual Assault - Why This Matters

The inaugural episode of Write to Count, hosted by Frinée Warren (with co-host Jenna, a Shihtese dog), addresses the overlooked social and interpersonal aftermath of sexual violence. While prevention and legal recourse dominate public focus, this podcast centers on the emotional, verbal, and behavioral interactions survivors face from family, friends, professionals, and institutions—interactions that often cause enduring harm. Drawing from Frinée’s personal story of surviving extensive childhood sexual abuse and decades of post-assault adversity, the episode exposes how well-meaning or careless responses can perpetuate trauma. It argues that since preventing violence is impossible, communities must ensure they do not compound it through neglectful or harmful engagement. Drawing inspiration from trauma experts like Dr. Judith Herman, Write to Count seeks to reshape how we communicate with survivors, advocating for intentional, informed, and empathetic responses that support healing rather than hinder it.
