Reporting sexual assault isn’t always confidential. That’s why it’s So Important: Nobody chooses to be this heroine. That’s why her open act of courage is that much more important in prevention.
Nobody Wants to be This Heroine
This opinion by Anita Chabria in The Los Angeles Times reviews the impacts of Jennifer Newsom’s testimony in the rape trial of Harvey Weinstein: both the negative impacts upon Jennifer personally, and the positive impacts on our society resulting from a witness’ willingness to go public with a horrible tale.
As Anita points out, Jennifer could easily have dodged this trial and this testimony. She didn’t have to hold herself out there to relive the trauma, and to receive all the criticism from people who have never been through something quite so awful. She didn’t have to volunteer for the blaming, the shaming, the righteous ring of certainty in the freely-shared opinions of those who want the security of some misdeed to stand between their own naivete and the undeniable wound that settles on an innocent person, changing life forever.
This is why Newsom’s open act of courage is that much more important in preventing sexual assault going forward: not just because society gets to see one indicted perpetrator receive justice. More than this, it is in witnessing the high cost of testifying that we can have the difficult conversations around why it continues to require superhuman strength and exceptional dedication to simply do the right thing.
