Lucretia and Erin discuss Erin's career with the Queensland Police, including her time with Task Force Argos, the branch responsible for the investigation of online child exploitation and abuse. Erin provides great insights into the societal conditioning women face every day and why they are often afraid to speak up. Erin empowers young girls and women with the skills they need to verbalise their experiences, reduce their negative self-talk and respond to the trauma of sexual violence.

Medusa's Mic
Medusa was a victim/survivor of sexual assault who was blamed, punished and had her voice taken away. Too many people can still relate to her story and we want to change that. It’s time for Medusa to take the mic. In this podcast we’ll share the personal stories of victim/survivors, hear from experts in sexual violence prevention and response, and talk to the quiet leaders who are creating real change.
Sometimes the content may be confronting and I urge you to seek support when you need it.
But overall I hope each episode helps you feel more informed and empowered to take action to stop sexual violence in your community. We are all in this together.
