Summary
What if the words we use are part of the problem? In this episode, the Global Trellis co-authors Of Let's Talk About It: Sexual Harassment, Abuse, and Assault unpack the often-blurred lines between sexual harassment, abuse, and assault—and why those distinctions matter more than we think. Tracing how these terms developed and how they function across cultures, they reveal how confusion can silence stories, mislabel harm, and limit meaningful response. If words can contribute to the problem, the good news is that they can also be part of the solution. Listen in and become better equipped for the realities you’re facing.
